Money & Currency

Use ATMs at banks or Post Office for decent rates; avoid currency exchange desks at airports and tourist bureaus as they mark up rates significantly.
Contactless cards and mobile payments (Apple Pay/Google Pay) are widely accepted in shops, cafes, and transport; cash is still useful for small purchases and markets.
Not expected in most situations; round up taxi fares to the nearest pound, leave 10% in restaurants if service is good, and tip hotel porters a pound or two.
