London Accommodation Guide - Cheap & Luxury London Hotels B&Bs Hostels. Price Guide and Tipping. Tipping is appreciated but not always appropriate in London. There are some situations where it is customary, for example in restaurants. Here are a few guidelines, although ultimately tips (or gratuities) are discretionary and depend on the quality of the service you receive. Tipping in London's Restaurants It is customary to leave 10-15% of the bill when eating out. However, restaurants often add on a service charge (usually 12.5%), especially if you're in a large group, so it's worth checking your bill if you don't want to tip twice. It's not customary to pay a tip for fast food, self-service or takeaway meals. Top tip: Although restaurants (and other businesses) should make their policy clear, it's worth checking with your waiter that he/she will personally receive your tip rather than the company – particularly if you're paying by credit card.
Tipping in Bars and Pubs People generally do not tip in pubs in London. Tipping in Hotels in London Tipping Taxi Drivers. Top 10 London Attractions.
