You don't have to tip at all, especially in pubs and never when ordering drinks.
-
As an American, I'll add something else, whether traveling in the UK or France, Japan, Fiji, Australia, Canada, etc, etc.: Politeness . Saying "please," "thank you," "you''re welcome," and "may I have...?" will always set you apart in a positive way from those who say "yeah," "mm-hmm," and "gimme." Our lax (I think too lax) norms of politeness at home tend to not fly abroad, so keep that in mind.
-
Jump a queue at a Bar, and often the barperson will completely ignore you until there is no queue.
-
1:07 You can live in a stately manner if you live in a stately manor, but you cannot visit a stately manner, only a stately manor. However, you can visit a stately manor in a stately manner if you are posh enough.
-
Americans, please use your "inside voice". Halve your volume, or even lower. Thank you and have fun! 🙂
-
Sorry, but you're wrong about tipping. I've lived in the UK my whole life(nearly 50) and you are absolute not expected to tip anywhere other than entering national museums. Places that attract tourists often put out tip jars but its not really the same thing.
-
Your video just popped up on my recommended and as an Englishman (Norwich!) your tips and tricks seem absolutely spot on. Great video mate - you’re super knowledgeable about the UK and I love your passion for our country! Cheers!
-
Also 'please' and 'thank you' with all serving staff goes a long way.
-
Tipping? When I lived in London I never tipped nor felt any obligation to.
-
Respect the guards in London they are soldiers and deserve respect
-
As a Londoner I totally agree that London does not represent the rest of England at all. Enjoy your trip.
-
Politeness is the passport to having a relaxed and enjoyable time in the UK. Imagine the politeness factor in somewhere like South Carolina, then turn the dial up a few notches. If you are polite then even the police will go out of their way to help, if you are brusque or entitled then the response will be full-on bureaucracy.
-
I like that you mentioned the National Trust, its honestly a fantastic way to experience what most tourists probably think of when they think of the UK.
-
What most Americans think of as a beer is what we call "lager". And it is served cold!
-
Another tip when visiting the UK, make sure you see some local theatre, there's a whole plethora of shows for a very reasonable price all across the UK, particularly in the cities. A great way of supporting the arts and you don't have to spend a fortune as you would in the West End!
-
Liverpool, York and Chester? Brilliant choices!
-
How lovely to see you in my home city of Chester. But regarding tipping, we only tip if we think we’ve had above average service. Tips aren’t expected
-
one thing us Canadians inherited from the British, queue culture, we definitely respect the line here too.
-
I'm 17 seconds into this video and I would like to show my appreciation for you using the English flag and not the Union Jack when talking about England. Small detail, but this makes me happy.

DRINKS: UK Beer = USA Ale UK Lager = USA Beer UK Cider = USA Strong Cider (alcoholic!) UK tap water = USA Bottled water (Still) We don't have an equivalent to USA tap water as we can drink from the tap without fear of death.
