You just need to buy a foreign draft from your bank. A draft will always be drawn on a bank local to the currency it's drawn on.
For example I used to regularly get US$ drafts from LloydsTSB which were drawn on JPMorganChase in New York IIRC.
If you are going to the US but your income will still be coming from the UK it might be an idea to open a dollar current account, I know Citibank do them.
Seems odd they won't take Visa but in any case a draft is easy to organise.0
