Don’t forget to buy pounds sterling before you leave for the UK

When planning your trip to the UK, it is important to consider buying some local currency. In the UK the official currency is the pound sterling (GBP), known as £. Many places allow you to pay with a credit or debit card, but others require cash. Before making the SEK to GBP exchange, make sure to check for the best available offer. We also advise that you check the recommended daily budget to best prepare your holiday budget. This will help you decide how many sek to gbp you should convert.

Practical tips for planning your budget

In restaurants, it is customary to leave a tip of 10-15% of the bill. However, sometimes restaurants already add a service charge to the bill (which is usually 12.5% of the total sterling amount). If the service charge has been added to the bill, there is no need to tip separately.

When planning a daily budget for a trip to the UK, it is wise to consider both accommodation and possible visits to the various attractions. Travel cost and food are also worth considering. The average traveler in the UK spends around 145 pound sterlings per day.
