FWIW I am in the process of setting up a US$ bank account with Nationwide. I will then withdraw my $ to that account, and then trade that for £ (which will go into my normal account) via
www.xe.com
This will give me the best rate I believe.

Interesting. This could be useful in the future when I'm moving more money around. My main account is with Nationwide but I don't have a switch card with them. I have one with another bank but I'd prefer to use just one to keep things tidy.
Thanks for the replies everyone. I'll stick with Party for now. I really like the way they give you an exchange rate as you're withdrawing so you know exactly where you stand.
