Tipping in the United Kingdom is appreciated but not as obligatory as in some other countries, which can be confusing for expats. For expats, tipping is generally modest and situation-dependent rather than automatic. Expats in the UK will find that in restaurants, it is common to leave a tip of around 10–12.5% if service is good, but many restaurants already include a service charge on the bill, especially in cities. In pubs, tipping is not expected, and drinks are usually paid for without any tip. Expats in the UK may round up taxi fares or tell the driver to “keep the change,” but large tips are uncommon. Hotel staff, hairdressers, and delivery drivers may receive small tips, but these are optional. Overall, expats should not feel pressured to tip heavily, as good service is generally expected without extra payment in the UK.
