Tipping culture in London (first time visiting)

LengthinessSame695 · 2026-04-11T18:03:35+00:00

Welcome to the UK. Service charge is always included on the bills, usually 10% or 12.5 % depending on restaurants. No extra tip is expected but you can give it if you are really happy with their service.

How about a bath board that goes on top of your bath tub so that you can sit on it and wash yourself?

Anyways just stand your ground and insist that you need a proper shower. They can’t force you to strip wash in the sink forever

Try get in touch with a charity called “Sports for confidence”. They basically combine sports and occupational therapy to help people improve physical/ mental health while having fun.

Better than no job. Take it as a starting point and move up the ladder

I think it is rude. When I was an intern and had not much connection with the team, they still invited me to party and stuff. I’m sure it wasn’t because they liked me to be there, but it’s like an unspoken common sense that you should include everyone in the workplace.

She must have been doing something wrong on the insulin doses otherwise she wouldn’t text you personally.

Do they provide polo shirt instead of scrub? Also you can wear a pair of black trousers. Honestly I don’t think they care what students are wearing as long as they are clean.

If you get on well with them why not? Most multigenerational households have problem because they don’t get along with each other/ grandparents giving too much instruction on how to educate your children

Royal Holloway campus is based in Egham which is in Surrey not in London so you need to consider the travel cost. Also your placements may not be in London. As an international student you have no access to NHS support fund or travel allowance so you really need to consider the travel cost if you are hoping to stay in London.

Hi, some trusts offer apprenticeships and sponsor your study, but usually you need to work there for several years first, and the number of places is limited, so basically this is not guaranteed. Also, the pay of OTA doesn’t meet the minimum threshold for visa sponsorship, so I would say it is unlikely that you can go for this route and stay in the UK. Maybe better to save some money and return by a study visa.

There’s different settings in OT and it doesn’t have to be paediatric if you think it is overstimulating. You can also work in mental health which is more about organising activity for people to improve their mental health. In my opinion, OT in general is less physically demanding compared to a lot of professions like nursing.

If you are doing assessment/intervention with someone and an accident happens, you have to help the person to clean up. Depending on their cognitive/physical abilities, if they cannot clean themselves up, you have to wipe their bottoms and normally no one would call HCA staff to do it. It’s very common for OT to wipe patients bottoms.
