    Just wondering if the massive can advise me the best place to exchange Sterling for Euros?

    Post Office v RBS v Bank of Scotland, PO came out best (£150 = €179) by €4. Any other places I should look?

    close to victoria, london? if so the exchange on victoria street always has the best deals – place with queues outside.

    PO is normally a good bet though only really an issue if you are getting laods

    Thomas Cook aren't bad, at least they have some room for negotiation instead of the PO assistant looking at you as if you've just shat in their handbag if you mention having seen a much better rate on their website.

    I always use my nationwide account in a native cash machine. Always worked out well for me in the past.

    I have a FairFX card which works out OK

    Oddly enough, I've just ordered a shed load of Euros.

    I used This comparison website which gives a pretty good idea of what's available.

    Definitely an advantage to live in London but otherwise some good mail order options. Of the rest, Tescos seem the most competitive over-the-counter option.

    I always use International Currency Exchange. http://www.iceplc.com They always give the best rates around IMHO.

    Travelex are best just now apparently. Going to get a bit better over the summer though; probably around £1 = €1.25
