Our Touch, your Travels…

This is a preview of the full content of our Brighton’s Best app.

  • All content is designed for mobile devices and works best there.
  • Detailed in-app maps will help you find sites using your device’s GPS.
  • The app works offline (one time upgrade required on Android versions).

The app will also allow you to:

  • Add custom locations to the app map (your hotel…).
  • Create your own list of favourites as you browse.
  • Search the entire contents using a fast and simple text-search tool.
  • Make one-click phone calls (on phones).

Tipping

Etiquette in the UK

Indigo tip jar

Check your bill carefully as many restaurants add on a service charge automatically, especially for groups of six or more. This will normally be 12.5%.

If the charge hasn't been added to your bill, the average amount to tip runs at 10–15%. It isn't customary to tip in pubs.

Taxi fares are often rounded up to the next pound, hotel porters would expect to receive around £2.00 per bag and tour guides approximately 10% of the price of the tour.
