Why is it that you can have everyone on an escalator standing on the right
yet there's always one muppet tourist standing on the left who doesn't
seem to clock that fact? Where do these people leave their brains when they
visit London?

It's usually groups of two or more people who stand side-by-side,
chatting. They're probably from places where you don't get a stream of
people walking up and down escalators. Indeed, even in London, people
don't usually walk up and down escalators in shopping centres.

Here's an example I took of people just standing and not walking on
even a very long escalator to one of the world's deepest metros:
