Best for exchanging US cash

I've got some US cash that I won't be using in the near future so am looking to have it exchanged here for pounds. Where will I get the best rate on cash exchange?

    I sold mine to my mate Gary, much better rate than Sainsbury's.
    Tall, dark & handsome. Well two out of three ain't bad.
  • I've $600 to exchange. I'm not saving it for Brexit nor do I have a friend who's looking to travel there any time soon. If I could afford to hang onto it for some future trip I would but that's not an option. Just looking for a recommendation of who offers the best exchange rates for cash. Thanks

    As mentioned above, best thing is to find a colleague, friend, family member or whatever who would like to buy them.
