I have found it very hit or miss - some shops allow a US card for on-line purchases, some don't, though several that used to don't any more, like Sainsbury's and Tesco for example.

Also the buses in London either need a tap and pay card or an oyster card. No more cash option.

We went to banks before we left to inform them the change of address. No problems at all. However we did give them of a temporary address in US and changed again later. The banks sent us confirmation letter to our US address for confirmation.

I think I would prefer a Cayman Islands or Bermuda address. Even Panama has some appeal over the UK. Maybe Sealand would be the place to get an address. I never heard what happened about the independence of Sealand.
