Okay, perhaps this is a London thing - people I've spoken to outside London don't seem to know about this.
Scene:
It's evening / night, and you're walking along a quietish street. If you're a bloke (alone or with other blokes) and there's someone walking in front of you on her own and in the same direction as you, it's good etiquette to cross the road and walk on the other pavement if you think that there's even the slightest chance that your presence is even the slightest bit intimidating to the other person. This is particulary relevent if the person is female or elderly.

Not even necessarily in the same direction but also in the opposite direction it is always chilirous for the bloke or blokes to corss over.
Also if you are out with any female company always make sure that they always get home before heading home yourself don't just leave them at a bus stop or train station. Make sure they get to their door. And if you are droppping a female companion off by car also ensure they are at their front door and safely inside before driving off.
