Nero Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 Try the place at Waterloo Station. They promise the best rates for dollars and euro.

Drxyster Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 According to the latest BBC "Watchdog" programme, the best place for currency exchange is the Post Office.I do not know if this is true, but certainly worth checking.

pablogrande Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 There's a really good place in Victoria street there's always people queuing out of the door turn right out of Victoria station and it's a couple of minutes on the right hand sideSaying that you can book your cash with travelex online and get their best price then pick it up at the airport I think you have to book 24 or 48 hours in advance they also do those prepaid dollar cards you load them up with dollars and use as a debit card over there save on fees and you get good exchange rateHave a good trip Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/19704-best-place-to-buy-dollars-in-centralsouth-london/#findComment-477117 Share on other sites More sharing options...

One is the place that pablogrande recommends - it's just past the crossroads where Thirleby Rd/Palace St meet Victoria St. The other place that is usually a bit quieter is the first shop on Vauxhall Bridge Road - just round the corner from the Pret. Neither charge commission and they are always a few cents better than any of the national bods.

PeckhamRose Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 Having bought dollars many times, I would recommend not going to the Post office because the rate is much less.In my experience, going to an American Express but not one in the City or West End, offers the best rates. In the City and West End they charge more because of the location. There's one opposite Harrods that I last went to and they offered the best deal. I had the time to do the research then. It may not be the case now.

malumbu Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 Change Link in Victoria chuffing brilliant www.change-link.co.ukFor years I used holes in the wall when abroad, not realising that Barclays were fleecing me both on the exchange rate and commission.Watch out in the US, totally antiquated banking system and they will charge you to change money.
