At the airport, change the minimum. Near the hotel where you will live, change the main thing. Preferably in a bank. The exchange rate is the same as in Ukraine - the pound is equal to the hryvnia.

Money can not be changed at all, in supermarkets, when buying from you, they can also accept dollars, but change is usually given in pounds, the same is in cafes and restaurants. You can pay with a taxi driver in dollars, when buying souvenirs as well. Payment for all excursions, trips to a nightclub in dollars, so changing everything to pounds is not necessary at all. The dollar exchange rate is approximately 5.6 pounds.

It’s better to change for dollars with us, and even better for small ones, there, as elsewhere, it’s more convenient to pay with them, and even if you have left, you can always exchange them at home for your relatives :)

You can change at the airport. In those banks, as practice has shown, a pretty good exchange rate. It is true that it is better to change the minimum, and then, if necessary, you can change in the city, in any bank. In supermarkets, shops, restaurants, you will be given change based on the undervalued exchange rate. The only thing is, if you want to change back from pounds to dollars later, you will be asked to provide a check for exchanging dollars for pounds, so if possible, keep these checks when exchanging.

Tell us how you have money left by the time you leave the country? I do not understand! No matter how much I take, there is nothing left at the airport before the return flight! And it is more profitable to pay with pounds everywhere. In a small way, you will win on all purchases. Of course, this does not mean that all cash must be exchanged, but I always change 300-400 dollars right away. Believe me, there are no pounds left!

Everything is correct here, the clarification is only about the surrender. If you travel outside the tourist zone, then small pounds are very desirable. Since the calculation in dollars and getting change becomes difficult. And so: at home you change for small bucks, at the hotel at the rate you change for pounds, and the exchanger gladly dumps a trifle, it is usually shabby. Although for souvenirs he even brought home piastres in good condition. By the way, you need to be more careful with piastres: they can sell you instead of pounds for change
