I want to exchange $2000 to Pounds.

    Cash presumably?

    Try post office or M&S potentially?

    Use a foreign exchange service. Do not go to the Post Office as there rates are awful. If you have it in cash then it is a little more problematic.
  • You will get the best rates in curency exchanges around Victoria / Queensway stations if you are in London.

    I generally find Thomas Exchange on the strand reasonble. Type them into google for their current rates.
