Do I need to tip in taxis or restaurants? If yes, how much?
I plan to visit London in winter. I have never been. A couple of additional questions: is it expensive to take a taxi from Heathrow to the center, what is the alternative? And in general terms, how long does it take to get to Scotland and what is preferable? Thanks.

From Heathrow to the center it is cheaper by metro (6 pounds) - there is a direct line directly from the airport, it takes 50-55 minutes to the center. By taxi, if there are traffic jams (and they usually are), it will take the same amount of time. The fare for a taxi in the region of 40-50 pounds. It is better to order a taxi via the Internet, a commission or a tip of 10%. There is also the Heathrow Express to Paddington, 15 minutes and you are in the center, the cost is 15-20 pounds, depending on the place of purchase.

You have already been written about Heathrow, that's right.
Tipping is accepted, depending on the amount of the bill or meter readings, on average, as elsewhere, - 5-10%. Tipping is not given in pubs, but there is no table service either. Don't be surprised if you sit at a table in a pub and no one comes up to you - you need to order at the counter.
Scotland can be reached by train or bus. The bus from London to Edinburgh goes at night, the train goes 4.5 hours.
