I have used CurrencyFair for a number of years and am very pleased with their service and exchange rates.

If you are transferring on a regular basis, then get a revolut card.

It's free, easy to use, and you get the money market fx rate.

If you are transferring a large amount on a one-off basis, then some of the advice above is better.

I use currency fair as well. If you are patient you can get better than market rate by being a seller rather than buyer. You won't make much but making a little is better than losing a little! I say patient but it's a pretty good market there longest I have had to wait to get a few thousand matched is 5 or 6 hours.
