pfnotflying,
You mention that this is your first trip across the pond!! Believe all that has bee said on this thread previously, especially the customs folks. They are just as stated if not worse. They treat Americans just the same so don't feel that you have been picked on.
A word of advice is to learn the language. As soon as you leave Canada start looking up the ATIS frequencies for airports along your route. Once you have got the translation of the various versions of "English" you "may" be able to understand the New York controllers. I get US crews to do the same thing when they are new to the Atlantic, and going East, for the first few trips.
Be prepared to be downwind number 2 or 3 behind a 172 so keep the speed under control.
Enjoy the colony.
