One thing you can do is crawl into the pub on your hands and knees, looking around haggardly and croaking..."W-a-a-a-ter! Wa-a-a-ter!" It helps if you have a parched and sunbleached appearance and are showing obvious signs of Sahara Desert level sunstroke.
This usually will get you water served right away in most English pubs, unless it's a Fawlty Towers type of establishment, in which case they will ask you rude questions which are essentially nonsequitors not worth answering.
Such stuffy places don't deserve your business anyway, and you should tell them so in no uncertain terms as you crawl back out the door. ;-D
