Currency
The British Pound Sterling (£) is the national currency. Credit and debit cards are accepted almost everywhere, but carrying small change is useful for markets, taxis, and tips.
Cuisine
Classic pub fare like fish and chips or Sunday roasts meets a world-class dining scene. Traditional afternoon tea remains a cultural ritual, while London and other major cities offer flavors from around the globe.
Transport
The UK has an extensive train network connecting major cities and regions. In London, the Underground is the fastest way to travel. Renting a car is ideal for exploring the countryside and smaller towns.
Tipping etiquette
In restaurants, a 10–12% service charge may be added; if not, leaving around 10% is customary. In pubs, tipping is not expected. Taxi fares are usually rounded up, and hotel staff may be tipped for special services.
When to go
The UK is a year-round destination. Summer brings festivals and long evenings, autumn colors the countryside, winter offers cosy pubs and Christmas markets, and spring fills gardens with blossoms.
