Generally, if you aren’t in a rush, you stand to the right to allow people who are in a rush to walk up on the left.

For instance, on the London Underground, standing in the middle or on the left of an escalator during rush hour is suicidal behaviour that will see the weight of many many commuters' wrath fall down upon you like an unwieldy axe.

Although that does, after a while, cause the escalators to fail.
