I generally tip in the UK, unless the service is rubbish. I have now taken to asking the serving staff whether they get to keep the "tip" if I pay by card, if they say "no" I tip them in cash. Trouble is since the Pandemic I rarely carry much in the way in cash, and occasionally this causes angst when paying. Good service deserves a good tip in the UK.
In Berlin we found that tipping is not really expected by staff, but we did anyway. I left all the accumilated coins in our hotel room.
