I am not aware of any custom of walking on either side in England.
When I emigrated to the US, I was trodden underfoot until I learnt
the rules.

Incidentally, I remember my English driving instructor explaining to me
why a right-hand drive vehicle was more logical. Holding the steering
wheel was the most important function and should be done with the
best hand (usually the right). Secondary functions like changing gear
should be performed by the other hand.
