Default Off Topic Money exchange

I am traveling to London tomorrow for the USA
and was wondering what your thoughts are on where the best place to
exchange money is.

Am I better off doing so at the USA side ( exchanging US dollars for
GBP) or wait till I get there and exchange it at the airport.

You might want to exchange $50 or so, just so you have money for a taxi
(or the Heathrow Express :-) and don't have to be scouting out an
airport ATM with your bags.

I second the ATM suggestion made elsewhere in this thread, but check
with your local bank. Often they have agreements with foreign banks for
no-fee ATM use. For example, (at least in late 2001), Bank of America
ATM cards would not be charged a fee if used in Barclay's ATM's....
