    Ask your friends/family if any of them are heading up north anytime soon, and sell them the stg at the market value. Cut out the middleman, yous both win!

    It would make sense for there to be a centralised location where you can compare exchange rates and fees.

    Someone on here recommended this site recently:

    http://www.currencyfair.com/

    No bank will match the rates that you can get there.

    If you know any students ask them to do it. I was working in London last summer and brought back some sterling. Because I was a student there was no fee.
