I would suggest you all spend anything from 15 mins to one hour a day practising your 1000 yard stare and poker face.
Its all in the eyes, when they try to gain eye contact (which they will in a majority of times before these instances occour),
you must be capable of fearlessly doing so for a moment, then look through them for about three times as long as you held
eye contact and then look away slowly. This all happens very quickly and needs to be a reflex (that may need developing).
It's also about timing you must meet their gaze at the same time as they clock you.
I am talking from experience, having lived in E1 and SE14 for over 4 years.
Not as some find of internet tough guy.
