Getting British Pounds (GBP)

First, make sure you have a Visa or Mastercard, as these are the most widely accepted payment methods in the UK. Please note that using a foreign card may incur currency conversion fees.

Ideally, it’s best to have some British pounds (GBP) in cash. Most countries have foreign exchange bureaus where you can exchange money before departure. If this isn’t convenient, our London-based local guides can assist you. Simply let us know the amount of GBP you need, and we will inform you of the equivalent amount in your local currency. You will then need to transfer the funds to us at least one week before your arrival in London. Upon arrival, we can provide the money either in cash or on a spending card, depending on your preference.
