Q: Using Apple Pay internationally

I live in the US and I plan on traveling to the UK in the near future. Will Apple Pay work on my iPhone/ Apple Watch when I am traveling around the UK?

iPhone 7 Plus, iOS 10

    There are some caveats to using Apple Pay in other countries. For the UK specifically, purchases over 30 GBP may be declined. However, you can use Apple Pay to get around on various methods of transit throughout the UK! Details on Transport for London's website here.
