The Android Pay system, Google’s second attempt to encourage users to use their smartphones for contactless payments, was introduced in the United States last September.
Google announced in March that it would introduce Android Pay in the UK within months but did not give an exact release date.
"According to employees at this particular Pret store, the We now accept Android Pay tags arrived overnight and have been displayed in stores from this morning, suggesting Android Pay will be imminently available to UK customers," a Telegraph report says.
For those who aren't already aware, Google has also announced a list of banks whose credit and debit cards will be supported by Android Pay in the UK.
The technology works in a similar way to Apple Pay, allowing users to load their Visa and MasterCard credit or debit card details on to a smartphone equipped with a Near-Field Communication (NFC) microchip.
