Apple Pay (and Google Pay) penetration in the U.K. is nearly universal. We have had very good support for contactless payments for a long time, something that Apple/Google Pay will both fall back to if necessary. No one blocks them. Charges are capped in the EU, and low, so retailers are onboard. Add to that the fact that cash usage is declining fast and some places are going card only (London public transport being most notable), it’s everywhere.
