  • I wanted to change my Euros to Pounds in London so I went to the Thomas Cook as you do. Of course there was a queue and I had to wait for a while. It appeared that Thomas Cook wanted 9% Commission for my transaction. A local geeza told me to go up the street to the Marks & Spencer department store where they have an In-Store Bureaux De Change. Sure enough no queue, no commission fee and a better exchange rate than Thomas Cook ! Happy Days

    At Least Do This: Marks & Spencer is located at
    107-115 Longacre
    Covent Garden
    London
    WC2E 9NT
    Alternative: Go to the Marks & Spencer In-Store Bureaux De Change.
    The Bureaux De Change just happens to be in the Lingerie department. :)
