A friend has been given quite a lot of Euro coinage that all adds up
to a fair amount whack (n.b. this is not a result of either money
laundering nor theft!), and was pondering on how he might be able to
spend it in London - he's not planning on travelling to Euroland for
some time to come (having just returned from an extended escapade),
and anyway likes to travel light.

Euros are accepted at Heathrow 1-3, Heathrow terminal 4, Kings Cross,
Liverpool St, Paddingdon, Victoria and Waterloo.

Thanks muchly for the info. (I know the ticket office at Heathrow T5
is run by BAA's Heathrow Express operation as opposed to by LU itself,
so perhaps that explains the omission - but I'd be intrigued if they
didn't accept Euros there whilst they were accepted everywhere else.)

The question in my mind is now whether or not they take coins - one
can but ask, of course.

If you do, please let us know what their response is. I'm in a similar
situation to your friend. I'd much rather spend the coins in London on an
Oyster top-up than have them sitting in a drawer indefinitely.

Well, why don't you just save them for your next trip to the Eurozone?
You might even want to sift through them and see if you can't find any
coins from the newer Eurozone members -- if you're into numismatics at all.
