Exchanging US dollars for British Pounds?

Hi, I would like to know a convenient place to exchange my dollars, I saw there is a place in the airport but I don't know if the rates are convenient there. If you know a good place please let me know.

Airports are always the most expensive place to change money, so I'd recommend that you buy some GBP before you leave, and then change the rest of your money at a later date in a location that will give you a better exchange rate. There's a comparison site for foreign exchange here http://travelmoney.moneysavingexpert.com/

Do be aware that you will need a bank account whilst you're here - there's a session about money and banking that's part of Orientation Week, but you can also have a look at http://www.moneysavingexpert.com/students/Student-bank-account for an idea of what's on offer.
