    If you go to the 'Travel/ Motoring' button at the top of the page you will find the latest information about overseas cards for spending and ATMs.

    Whichever card you take, remember to let your bank know you are travelling, otherwise you may end up with your card blocked by fraud protection systems.

    Smile :), it makes people wonder what you have been up to.

    I live in London and my closest metro bank is Ealing and that's a good half hour away even if I drive.
