Shoot a sodium bicarbonate fire extinguisher intensely on the location to neutralize the acid.

I was actually thinking about something like that. A clever entrepreneur could make a fortune selling Londoners small, personal sodium bicarbonate dispensers.

But then again I guess Mayor Khan would ban those things as being insulting to immigrants.

Sounded good to me but apparently the worst thing to do.
The acid may get neutralized but its an exothermic reaction and the person will get 2/3 degree burns. Also the strong base will injure the other areas not affected by acid and any areas where the acid is neutralized and additional base is used after that point.
Would have been nice to have an answer other than water.
