I'm concerned based on my knowledge of visitors from the US (with relationships with people in the UK, but who did not have the right to reside in the UK) attempting to come to the UK without sufficient cash in their pockets and being denied entry, despite having debit cards and credit cards and Electronic Banking being as widespread - if not more so - in the UK than in the US. And based on my knowledge of American visitors (with relationships with people in the UK, but who did not have the right to reside in the UK) being denied entry to the UK because it was believed they were going to overstay because they didn't have a compelling reason to go back to the US, e.g. no permanent job in the US.
It it's not a big deal in the US, then we will just take what I consider to be a reasonable amount.
I normally don't walk around with a lot of cash on me either.

If you're worried about showing evidence of sufficient support for the trip, just bring an ATM card and a bank statement. They're not going to go through your pockets to check your cash.
