• Gratuity Tips
  Service is often included in your hotel, restaurant or bar bill, but if it isn't, a tip of 10-15% is customary. A higher tip for exceptional service is at your discretion. The only other times a tip is expected is for a taxi ride, bar staff--10-15%, a bell boy--£1 per bag or at a beauty salon. Theater, movie and petrol (gas) station do not expect one.
• Taxes and VATS
  American visitors to Britain can reclaim the 17.5% VAT, minus the administrative fee, on purchases over a minimum limit (check with the store for their limit--usually £50-£100). Please remember that refunds only apply to goods being taken out of the country, not services.
• Banks, Credit Cards, ATMs
  Most banks are open from 9:30am until 4:30pm, Monday to Friday, with some of the main branches open an extra hour and for a few hours on Saturday mornings. Many branches have ATMs available in the lobby 24 hours a day. Credit cards are widely accepted.

• Clothing Requirements
  We suggest you dress in layers and always bring some kind of rainwear. Dress codes are very similar to America's, and men are advised to pack a jacket and tie if they plan to eat in a smart restaurant, visit a nightclub or go to a casino.
