Londoners are not known for their senseless compassion or random acts of kindness, but a new scheme hopes to change all that.
The Niceties project aims to break down gruff exteriors by giving "Niceties Tokens" when they are polite.
Liz Akers, 28, came up with the idea after becoming sick of rudeness on her commute to work.
A person who is seen being "nice" will get one of 130 tokens as a reward, which they can then pass on to others.
Each token has an individual name and set of markings, and the recipient can log on to a website to record how, where, and why they got it, and read about who has had it before them.
Asked if she thought the scheme might change the face of London, Ms Akers said: "That's a bit ambitious isn't it? But yeah! Why not?"
