American English/British English question

This may come across as a very silly question but...
When DH and I travel to a foreign country we try to, at least, know a few phrases of the local language but this will be my first time in London soooo... should I use the terms that Brits use versus my normal American English? I think most Brits know when I say "line" it equates to queue (and the reverse for Brits visiting the US), for instance. I know we will be able to understand one another but I want to be respectful and not pretentious.
