CURRENCY
Overall, the UK is becoming increasingly cashless, so you shouldn’t have a problem paying with Visa or Mastercard and, in many places, American Express. It’s good to carry some cash for smaller purchases or to use for tips.
TIPPING
10 per cent of the bill is the standard service charge in high-end hotels and most restaurants (if not already added as a service charge). A small cash tip is more appropriate in bars and cafes. Tipping isn’t expected in budget and most mid-range hotels, public transport or fast food restaurants. ‘Keep the change’ is appropriate for cab drivers and bar staff.
ACCESSIBILITY
Most of the larger cities in England are accessibility-friendly. You may find some places aren't as equipped as you go into smaller towns and providences, but overall, England is very accommodating.
