Where I'm from (South London), the most usual greeting if, for example, you meet your neighbour in the street is "All right?"

Hey

How's it going?

How are things?

What's up?

Some of what Dave B wrote is considered informal.

Yes, what I wrote is informal. Most of the different greetings are informal because for a formal greeting there aren't many variations:

Hello. How are you?
Hi, nice to meet you.
Good morning
Good afternoon.

Want some really informal ones?

What's crackin?
What's goin on?
What's new?
What's shakin?
