In the UK there's no tip included by default.

Wages of workers is included, just like the other overheads are. If you want to give a gift to someone -- a tip -- how could that possibly be even known in advance.

As it should be. Businesses should pay a living wage, and tips should only be absolutely voluntary, and without incitement.

A lot of restaurants in the UK will add a "service charge" which is supposed to be a suggested tip, and you can ask for it to be removed from the bill (and then tip separately, or not).
