Tipping
Tips of around 10% in restaurants where the service charge isn't included are expected. You can tip taxi drivers up to 10% but most people round up to the nearest pound. With other services, from hotel porters to hairdressers, a small gratuity is commonplace, although you're under no obligation to fork out.
