As this site is dedicated to earning points and miles, I'll let my curiosity get the better of me: Why would you want such a large amount of cash? Or indeed any cash? In my last 3 trips to London, I've not spent a penny/cent in cash. Now that you can tap your card at stations instead of buying an Oyster card, credit cards cover pretty much everything. (I think I saw one restaurant a decade ago that didn't accept credit cards.)
