    From recent experience Thos Cook, M&S or the Cheque Shop. The Post Office do offer a better rate for amounts over £750 than the one they display in the window, but how much better I don't know. Their normal rate will not be as good as the above

    If you are in central London you might do better still at Thomas Exchange
    13 Maddox Street
    London W1S 2QG

    Martin's tool is designed for those who wish to buy online. It's not a lot of use to those who choose to pay cash. Note the warnings Instore rates may be different against many providers - they will be, and significantly.
