In England, you pay with the pound. Most merchants now routinely accept all the payment cards from the world's key card associations. However, if you plan to rent a car, for example, carry a credit card, not just a regular debit card, which may not be enough.
There is a very dense network of ATMs in all cities. However, we recommend that you only withdraw money from those operated by banks. If you come across ATMs operated by other operators, such as Euronet, you will probably be charged a withdrawal fee.
