Apple Pay has been my primary payment method since the day it launched in the UK.
Fortunately, most payment terminals in London already supported NFC payments thanks to NFC debit and credit cards long being prevalent here, and Apple Pay is just tokenised NFC payments.
Same is true of literally every iPhone owner I know, and usage simply increased as payment limits went from £20 to £30 to unlimited (unlimited on Apple Pay, but still limited to £30 on NFC cards or when using older payment terminals).
Plus I got to ditch my oyster card and just use weekly fare capping after a while too. Good times.
