London is less friendly - as are all huge cities. It's not particularly something specific to London as such and your sweeping assumptions are quite frightening. From my personal experience when I've moved into my last two properties on both occasions all my neighbours have got together to hold a "welcome the new neighbour" drinks. Bloody Londoners.

It's society in general. We’ve become more individualistic over the
last 35 years. Morality and sense of community as diminished which as
been caused, by free market capitalism pervading every part of society.
Hopefully, this deep recession / depression will alter most people's
priorities towards their fellow human.
