you best ways are
waitressing somewhere where tipping is likely (look for quality indicators i.e. menu prices of £20 plus, top shelve liquor on display and if you can customer's jewellery before you apply)
supermarkets (notably Waitrose as you get a shareholder bonus)
anywhere with commission (electronics/tech stores are the main ones )
big budget places (new car showrooms, quality jewellery stores and quality antique dealers for example)

You can become your own boss, by starting up a business

this is a very viable option as long as you have the backing finances to do it, OP
I mean 5 years I ago I was working for £3,000 a year as sous chef
now I run my own business in the luxury goods resale sector, I make at least that every week

Most jobs pay quite well for a 16 year old, considering you're a 16 year old. You've got no other income so any income in comparison is a lot :O

I work at Sports Direct (don't judge) on £4.07, it's 20% above minimum wage and there's loads of commission to be made, so it's not a bad earner.

Plus they like to employ young people because it's cheaper for them, so it's not too bad
