Although, it is advised to carry an alternative payment method with you during your visit. Contactless payments on non-UK cards may incur an overseas transaction fee. Fees vary by card and by bank, so check with your card issuer before tapping your contactless card in the UK. 

Contactless payment cards are widely used in the UK, and many businesses accept them. Contactless payments are limited to £100 per transaction.
