Update: Thank you for everyone's replies. I went into Nationwide and asked them for the SWIFT and BAC codes and they helped me brilliantly.
I have since applied for an international money transfer for $2500 Canadian (the maximum in a single transaction) and the £££s arrived in my Nationwide account this morning so I set up another transfer to cover the rest of the tickets.

Out of curiosity, what exchange rate and charges were involved in doing this, i.e. how many £££s arrived in your Nationwide account?socks_uk said:I have since applied for an international money transfer for $2500 Canadian (the maximum in a single transaction) and the £££s arrived in my Nationwide account this morning so I set up another transfer to cover the rest of the tickets.1
