Another approach would be to obtain £ notes from an ATM as soon as you land in the UK. "Break" large notes by buying a newespaper or some other minor item and you're set.
magexpect - For the travelex buyback, will Travelex only buy back paper notes, or do they also take £1 (or smaller) coins?</font>
Coins and paper. By the way, check some of the ATM's, the modern ones have a button called mixed notes or something similar. Instead of getting one or two large notes, you get one large and smaller ones.
The best is at the postomat of Switzerland.
