You can't fake your way into the upper class in the UK, because they all know each other already. As for behaviour, dress and speech, the standard books are:

* Noblesse Oblige[0] Mostly about vocabulary, and very outdated (1950s)

* The English Gentleman[1] Only about aristocratic men, and comedic in style

* Class: A View from Middle England (Jilly Cooper) Very 1970s

* Watching the English[2] Not specifically about social class, but class comes up a lot.
