Sirs- I'd carry a Gladius, It's good on defence, perfect for stabbing and cutting, and not so big as to get in the way,

I crossed town with sword in hand and had no trouble whatsoever, even when I passed two police officers.

likewise, if there's a reason, it's technically legal in the UK, beleive it or not.
the only time I ever got stopped carrying sword(s) in Edinburgh was one occasion where as I passed a police officer, he asked "is that a real sword?" to which I said that it was blunt, and for western martial arts...
his next response... "ok. can I have a look, it's really pretty!"
spent 5 mins chatting to him about reenactment and martial arts 
infact on one occasion there was a big parade event on, and huge crowds streets closed etc, and police everywhere... and I walked back carrying a rapier, longsword and some wasters, and did'nt get a single question as to why I was walking through with 'em.
though its not as absurd (and inconsistent) as the buses... who once let a couple I know onto the bus with spears...
they travelled to the location they were going, and removed the spearheads after the practice so someone else could do some work on them...
and the bus driver on the way back refused to let them on with the poles as they were dangerous.
*facepalm*
that said, I doubt I'd like to do the same carrying in london...
