Cheapest way to convert Euro to Sterling?

Schorpio · 2010-08-09 14:40:39

Hey everyone, I'm heading over to the UK for a week in a couple of days and I was wondering what is the cheapest way of converting my Euro? Convert here, use my atm card over there, or use a credit card over there? Also, I presume my Laser card won't work at the point of sale over there? Cheers in advance.

Some figures here on ATM charges for Non Euro withdrawals - might be of use?
