Cultural facts

In Spain it we usually touch our friends while speaking. Putting a hand over on their the shoulder, giving a pat in the patting their back or staying standing close to others is warm and welcome is welcomed and regarded as an expression of warmth. This is different in other cultures.

I remember that, while being when once in London for holidays, I ran knocked into somebody at the tube. I put my hand over on his shoulder by instinct, and I said sorry. I'll never forget the look the throw to he gave my hand. It was full of repugnance.

I suppose Londoners don't apreciate to be like being touched. Do they?

No we don't - not by strangers. Among friends it's normally fine but not a general custom.

Or during my holidays in London.

I agree with you Spanish people are more affecionate, I have to say that in general people from London are not friendly people, If you pass by someone (a stranger) and say hello, they will ignore you or give you an awful look. I live in the North of England, here everyone speaks to each other, wheather they know each other or not.
