In London, euros are very rarely accepted by businesses, so plan to pay in pounds rather than relying on euro cash. A foreign credit or debit card can be convenient, but check your card’s overseas fees and make sure you have a backup way to pay.
What currency does London and the UK use?
The currency throughout the United Kingdom is pound sterling (£/GBP), as Visit London explains. Businesses set their own payment practices, but sterling is the currency to budget for.

Can you pay with euros in London?
Visit London says euros are “very rarely accepted as currency for businesses in London.” That guidance is specific to London; it does not establish a rate of euro acceptance across every UK business. Do not assume a shop, café, restaurant, or other business will take euro cash. If a business does accept it, check what exchange rate it applies before agreeing to pay.

What payment methods should you plan to use?
Card or mobile payments
Cards are widely accepted in many London restaurants, bars, cafés, and shops, and contactless payment is widely used. Some businesses are cash-free, so a usable card is important. Acceptance of a foreign card and any overseas transaction charges depend on the card issuer; check your provider’s terms before travelling. Carry another payment option in case your card is declined or unavailable. Visit London’s payment guidance covers card use and fees.

Pounds in cash
Having some pounds can help when you need cash or your card is not usable. If you exchange money in London, compare the total GBP you will receive after all charges rather than looking only at a quoted rate. Bureaux de change operate at visitor locations including airports and major stations. Visit London lists currency-exchange information; rates and charges vary, so check the terms before exchanging.
How should you pay for London transport?
For London public transport, options include an accepted contactless card or mobile device and a Visitor Oyster card. If you plan to tap in with a card issued overseas, confirm compatibility with both your issuer and current Transport for London contactless guidance. Overseas transaction fees may apply, and some overseas cards may not work for contactless travel; check TfL’s guidance for overseas cards before relying on one. The better option depends on your card’s compatibility and fees and your travel needs.
