As a frequent tourist in your great country, I practice the exact same

As someone who's lived here all his life I can confidently say that
there are, as far as I know, no rules for walking on the pavement.

Quick update. Because of this thread, I paid particular attention to this
issue on my visit to London last week. Interesting. In some LU stations
there were signs keeping pedestrians to the left. In others, the signs kept
everyone to the right. And the LU escalators were open season (I assume
they change direction on the escalators periodically for even wear and
tear). On the pavement, there appeared to be no conformity at all. People
simply walked where there was an opening.
