For England (& Scotland, Wales & N.Ireland) as others have said a 10% tip in restaurants is usual unless the service or meal is not up to standard, though check service hasn't already been added. Some restaurants - usually the higher end places - automatically add "x"% where "x" is invariably more than 10%. They must indicate that they will do so on the menu. Taxi drivers will expect a tip as will porters, but everyone else can go take a running jump until they regularly tip me for my services!
In France, the same goes for taxi drivers and porters and 10% is acceptable (or a Euro per bag for the porter if that works better for you). All cafes and restaurants normally add in a service charge of 15%, so there is no need to leave any kind of tip unless the service or meal are exceptional. The words "service compris" will likely appear on the menu and/or your bill, indicating that a tip has been included.
