Is it normal to not say hello or good morning to your colleagues when you come into the office? (self.london)

I've been living here for a few years now and it strikes me as so bizarre not to acknowledge someone's presence as they come into the office. Is it the norm here? I am a Northerner so this could be a reason it is so jarring to me.

Most of the places I've worked, yes.

Sometimes though, only in your team. (E.g. walking through a big open plan area, don't interrupt 15 people on your way past to say hello).
