Best place to change euros back to £'s?

I'm wondering if anyone could help me.

Due to having lived overseas for 3 or so years I have a huge bag of euros but its all in change, I'm talking 1, 5 and 10 cent pieces here. There's about 60 euros worth. Where would be the best place to go and change them, and would I need to separate and count it all out?

    Nobody will want change. And even if they were notes, you'd pay through the nose to change them to GBP.

    By far your best bet is to hang on to them till you next go into the Eurozone, then at least you get full value.

    You might be able to change them at an airport bureau de change. Some of them handle coins. You could try to open a euro bank account with a UK bank and pay in the coins. Or you could donate them to charity.
