I try not to be too 'London-minded', but come on - everyone else stands on the right. You can see everyone else standing on the right across the horizon in front of the enormous escalator. One long, gloriously unbroken line of people standing on the right. There are even clear signs (diagrams?). So why do you stand left, Mr. Tourist?
'Stand on the right, walk on the left'. Transport for London get myriad things wrong but that mantra is beautifully simple and effective. Do Spanish and Italian people dawdle around like lobotomy outpatients in their own country's transport hubs, or just ours?
