Some advice if I may:
1. Don't talk politics, religion, or the royal family.
2. When they ask you "is it different/how do you like it/which is better?" just rave about the UK.
3. Do your research on Cliff Richards career before you go.
4. Watch some premiership action.
5. Get fish and chips from a good chippie as often as you can.
6. Get 1 or 2 kebabs.
7. Eat at Tai Won Mein in London in Elephant and Castle.
Have fun man.

why?
remember im going to be trying to fit the arrogant american stereotype to a T
im planing on wearing my napolean dynamite style american flag pants and my old navy proud to be an american shirt, and ordering freedom fries and when they dont understand or scoff, calling thir establishment "unamerican" remember i want to have fun over there
"Y'all talk funny."
"Hey, where can I get a FANNY pack."
"Don't you have any American-style food?"
"Why the hell do you drive on the wrong side of the road?"

Do the usual thing of not knowing about the existence of anything outside La Merica (original name of your country).
Try asking, "whuere in the hell am I?" when they say "London" you say "Is that London Kentucky or London Ohio?"
Don't forget to say "Gee how quaint!" and try and sue everybody you bump into in Trafalga Square.
Don't worry it's not your fault you don't have any real news programs in the USA. When there I have to go to an Internet cafe and check the BBC website to find out what's going on in any other continent. In fact your news programs don't even tell you any interesting facts about your own government because they're not allowed to (freedom of speech my arse)
I'd be up for it, London is only 45 minutes away. Places to skate include Harrow, Meanwhile 2, Meanwhile 3 and of course Southbank, but that is usually overun by kids on bikes/BMXers...
