Practical tips for planning your budget

In restaurants, it’s common to tip 10–15%. However, some restaurants already include a service charge on the bill (typically 12.5% of the total amount in pounds). If the service charge is included, it’s not necessary to tip extra.

When planning your daily travel budget in the UK, it's a good idea to consider accommodation and possible museum visits. Transport and food should also be included. The average traveler in the UK spends around 145 GBP per day.
