Living in London, there are some stuck up people that find it strange. My sister has breast fed, and always went and found some place where you're allowed to. They do have 'Breast feeding zones' so the aren't a place where you go to the bathroom, or change the baby so they can be cleaner.
Personally, if I'm going to go sit in a cafe, and breast feed, I would go up and get permission behind the counter to see if it's okay, then if you get anyone moaning, you have had back up from someone that works there. If I'm just sitting on a bench, I wouldn't mind as it's a public area, and people can bugger off!
My aunt has recently had a baby, and she isn't breast feeding at home, or outside as she doesn't feel comfortable with it. I honestly feel I'd have to get used to breast feeding in public, just because breast feeding as a whole would be new to me. I know you can express, but I've been told many times heating expressed milk kills some of the goodness in it.
