Britain is not Britain in this regard.
London has a ton of places that don't accept cash already.
Go to smaller towns in the North and you'll hit minimum charges to use a card or broken machines.
- IshKebab 8y agoAdmittedly I've not lived in London for 5 years or so, but I never went to single place that wouldn't accept cash. Name one.
- mrec 8y agoI suppose parts of TfL might be an example - you can't pay cash on a bus. Other than than, I haven't encountered one either, though I'm worried that they're getting closer. Probably past time to be thinking about an escape plan anyway.
- benjiweber 8y agoIt's increasingly common in e.g. coffee shops/stands who don't want to have to deal with cash. Urban Baristas by Waterloo for example. Even in small supermarkets you'll have to queue for a smaller number of automated checkouts that can do cash, rather than the big row of card-only checkouts.
- eertami 8y agoEasily, I haven't lived in London in a while but I can name three: Japanese Canteen, Browns, Shrimpy's.
- dazc 8y agoI can't think of anywhere in 'the North' where this is anything other than a random event. Ironically, in 'the South' I believe a lot of card machines in cabs have a habit of being broken unless you're adamant that you don't have cash on you?
- onion2k 8y agoI live in Newcastle, and this isn't the case anywhere around the North East.
