What should I know about tipping in London as a student resident?

[onlyarpit]

Welcome to London! When it comes to student accommodation in London, most services (like maintenance or cleaning, if provided) are included in your rent, so tipping isn’t expected within your residence. However, when you're out and about—especially dining in restaurants or getting deliveries—tipping in London is customary, though not as mandatory as in some countries. A 10–12.5% tip is typical in restaurants if service isn’t already included. It’s good to be aware of these norms as you settle into life as a student in the city.
