Back from Hungary, money left

Hi all, I just got back from Hungary and I've come back with 13,400 HUF (about £45-£50). I got the money out there, which worked out cheaper than travelex etc. Does anyone know a good place I can go to change this back to £? I'm in London. Thanks in advance!

    OK, never mind. Went to the Post Office, rate was rubbish, but it was only £40 worth so the rate doesn't matter that much.

    RE: rate, yes it was quite a bit better, no idea why. I got 280 HUF to the £ from travelex, but in Budapest people in our group were getting up to 300 HUF to the £, changing cash. I'd get some before you go out there for taxis etc. but change most of it there. Shop around though...
