UK Currency

Q: What is the currency used in London? I see every that the Euro is referenced, but I thought London used GBP? I have never been to Europe before, and I am trying to understand everything, or at a little before I get there Thank you.


A: Yes, the currency in London is Pounds Sterling (GBP). I think the exchange rate is around US$2 = £1.
However, London being a major European city, you will find some places that accept Euros (and US dollars) - typically hotels rather than shops, though.
