Change $ to £ on high street

From my holiday in April of this year I have around $360 left over in various denominations (all notes), I was planning to go back in 2017 but it won't be until 2018 at the earliest now so I was planning to change them back to £ for some Christmas shopping

What would be the best place on the high street to do this so I get the best rate back? I'm based in Leeds if that helps!

Many thanks :)

    Do you know anyone who is travelling in the near future and is after a few $, if so split the difference between the buy and sell rate then you both win. Otherwise try the Moneymax calculator in the travel section of MSE that will give you current rates.
