Default Does London Underground accept Euros anywhere?

Tescos self-serve tills in London accept Scottish money, incidentally.

And I'm sure that self-serve tills will accept English notes in Scotland,
Ireland and the Isle of Man.

I wonder if those same tills will accept Northern Irish notes outside of
Northern Ireland, however.

No idea about tills but there are reports of Scottish retailers declining
Northern Irish notes, which does make the Scottish complaint seem a little
hollow. A while back a Scottish MP brought a Private Members' Bill that
sought to make it a requirement for all retailers throughout the UK who
accept English notes to accept Scottish notes on the same basis (carefully
structured to avoid the issue of legal tender); the bill did not cover
Northern Irish notes although amendments would have been brought on that.
