Default Does London Underground accept Euros anywhere?

(Drafting error - it's either a fair amount or a fair whack, not a
fair amount whack - and as I said, this wasn't a result of theft so
nobody got in any way whacked as a result!)


It's possible that some of the shops in the Eurostar terminal at St
Pancras will accept euros - certainly when Eurostar was at Waterloo, the
branch of Boots in the station would take them. It might also be worth
checking if the KX/St Pancras ticket office would accept euros for the
same reason.


That's an idea - I was about to say I'm not sure he's really after
whatever bijoux trinkets [1] that on offer there, but he might well
like a few of Mr Pink's shirts, not sure paying for it all in EUR1
coins or whatever is quite the image they're after though! Indeed the
question is really of coin acceptance. One can but ask, of course.

[1] Possible plural confusion there, plus some redundant repetition?
Oiks like me probably shouldn't try to talk posh.

I note that you don't state that nobody got mounted.
