Do people in the UK use cash? I was in London for a week before I finally needed to get some cash to pay for a contractor for illegal services (a forbidden historical tour), later I needed coins to do laundry and the convenience store didn't have enough for a load of wash and a dry, he changed enough for a wash and the pub across the street had enough for a dry.

In my experience a lot of people still like to withdraw their salary when it arrives and spend it as cash. It depends on demographic. In cities like London and Bristol card-only pubs are common.

I'm my experience London is not a typical example of the UK.
