- poszlem 2y agoLondon's not really "the UK". It's so different from the rest of the country, it's like its own little city-state.
- MyFedora 2y agoMost people in the UK live outside of London (87 % as of 2021), so I can't see how that's relevant to anything here.
- alephnerd 2y agoFor a business that targets upper middle class and HNW individuals, Greater London, the affluent parts of Southwest England, Oxfordshire, Cambridgeshire, and Northeast Scotland are all that matters. Realistically, Amex works in most metros in the UK I've travelled in. Maybe the local kebab shop doesn't accept it, but the overlap in customer base probably isn't there anyhow.

- MyFedora 2y agoHow so? London is doing quite poor nowadays, even more so after the UK left the EU.

- JumpCrisscross 2y ago> Small shops, cafes, restaurants, even chains in London refuse to take it I’ve never noticed it, but I’m admittedly speedy when I travel. Maybe the high-end spots keep it while lower-end ones are walking away? Makes sense with e.g. eBay.
