    Believe it or not there is an American Express office right outside the Victoria Station that has the best exchange rates and NO commision. I found the palces here in the states to be really expensive and add high commisions. PM if you want me to send you a map of the place or tell you about another place in Westminster.

        the absolute best exchange rates you can get are by using your credit card whenever you can. visa/mastercard get a much better rate than any single person could.

          That is the best,

          Another good idea is to use a cash machine, check your bank before hand to see what and if they charge for a transaction abroad.

            What I said on Bedrock board... order online at www.travelex.co.uk and pick up at the airport.

              you're probably better off using your credit card when you can then the ATM for cash.
