Yup, get going before the masses do or before the zombies reach a critical mass point.
GET OUT.
You can always come back later with your tail between your legs if it is H1N1 or something.

Firearms for most are likely to be very hard to get hold of. there are gunshops dotted about but they are locked up tighter than a nuns snatch.
I guess a JCB thru a wall would do it and once you are in you are mostly away, as some dont keep stuff in safes and instead treat the whole shop as a safe i.e. a big metal cage around the wall and doors etc..

I'd go for a light semi auto .22L with huge extended mags, for the low recoil, low noise headshots. A .38/.357 or .45 underlever rifle for the pesky gangs of hooman cannibals and the ease of self reloading the cartridges themselves.
A decent, shorter barreled semi auto shotty would be nice but the UK standard licence is restricted to 3 shots so you wont find many that can hold more in the mag just lying around. But if you went for a shop they might have a large cap semi like a Saiga if you are lucky.
Also a very heavy 60-80lb draw compound bow. Those things can go through car doors with ease and probably through a zed or two with one shot, also extremely useful for the stealth factor and the re-use of the arrows.

Dive is dead….
Press START to continue 10.9.8.7.6.

No thru lack of ability, just London and no personal transport.
Can you drive? You can always jack a car, kill a infected neighbour, take their keys. Get an automatic any muppet can drive an auto, even me.
Dont forget the highway code is out the window and cops arent going to be stopping you for erratic driving.

I can't drive but I know I can make a car go forward and steer it, thats all you need in Zedapocalypse.

Under these circumstances I still think doing your bit and killing as many on a daily basis as possible would help in the long run.

Ok. Seeing as this is a thing we're talking about, this is my plan.

I'm on a small island, so there's fuck all places to go. There's a few million people around, sure, but it's less densely populated than many other places in the mainland - it's too small to have any notable "middle of nowhere".

I think, in the event of a zombie apocalypse I would, assuming this is an end of civilization kinda deal, do the following:

I'd try to live, and live well. To be honest, I wouldn't see the point in surviving for survival's sake in this scenario, so the first thing i'd try to do is clear out my building and create a safe area. There's only one way in and the doorway is defendable - one staircase, 2 elevators, nearby balconys aplenty and nearby roof access to other buildings; if it is cleared well, it is not a bad place to hunker down. There's also 2 supermarkets nearby with masses of goods, in wide open spaces with good visibility. So, i'd make the local area as safe as possible, after stacking up on as many goods as I can lug.

Then what? Then I'd make myself King of this building. It's a key location, got everything you need nearby, 40 minutes from the sea - if there's a place to be in the city, it's here. I'd find myself a nice lad or lady with a dead family and a submissive mouth and become a deranged despot like the one's you see in Dead Rising games - help and safety in exchange for order and control. It's that or struggle day to day just to stay alive, fuck that.

That would be perfect. Although trips to the mainland for supplies would be fraught affairs. Jesus I'm so into this shit right now.

I almost want it to kick off.

Until the tide goes out, maybe you could hack the barrier to keep the Thames high or something

I'm moving and foraging, firm believer in if you stop you die, maybe a week or so in one place, if I'm scouting a decent supply line. You should be thinking more like The End than The Fear

If you are in a house and need to barricade yourself in, smash the staircase up and use a ladder, knotted sheet, rope, whatever to go downstairs.

P.S. Never go back downstairs.

Helpful fact.
If you jump down a height 3 times your height you will nearly always die.
Stick to 1-1.5 times your height.

I'm doing that shit tonight, better not be some 'get the stupid prick to blow up his dishwasher' prank.

OMG, zombie survival cards that don't double as playing cards. Dickheads. http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/0307406458?pc_redir=1407731864&robot_redir=1

To those who wanted electricity, this may be of interest, I'm not sure I see the point in our scenario. Being as I can't see infrastructure lasting too long, but better to have it and not need it

This zombie apocalypse doesn't seem to have changed anyone's morals, ridiculous

Broken iPhones?

Valid point
