If you've ever used the tube, a crowded platform can be the quietest place you can imagine.
And when i brought my soon-to-be-wife (a Londoner) to Wales for the first time, she couldn't understand how complete strangers would say hello when out for a walk.
So I think we're OK in god's country, if not in 'the smoke'.
Edit in the light of the previous posts: all my Welsh addresses were semi (one end-of-terrace) on estates, and had front and back gardens.
My London homes were terrace.
