You actually carry cash?????
The UK is cashless. I van’t remember the last time I used cash for anything (apart from the hairdresser).
A card is good. But check your cards and what the bank charge in commission. I have a UK card that charges nothing other the VISA spread, around 0.86c on $. AMEX adds onto this 2.99% handling fee and around 3% FX rate.
So going back to £ in UK. Its cheaper to use a credit card to tap in/out on london transport system and everyone uses cards - even taxis
