staff enforce the one way systems properly?

Probably because it is legally unenforceable. Other than having an LUL
member of staff berating travellers there's not much that they can actually
do about it - and staff can be better utilised doing other things, I
suspect.

It would also help if LUL were consistent in their signage, not only on
one-way systems. Some staircases are labelled 'Keep Left' (ought to be
obvious), some are labelled 'Keep Right' and most are not labelled at all!
The same applies to some passageways. It's very common to walk along a
passageway on the left and encounter some brainless goon coming the other
way, on the right, who resolutely will not move.
