Hey Finn, if you have some sort of emergency you can call me, I can arrange some London assist if need be. I'll PM you my cell number.

[Finn666]

thanks a lot buddy…pm received (as well as simon's) thx guys!

[Finn666]

btw. guys, are there enough places where we can change money € -> £ and the other way around? thx.

[Chris]

Nope.  None at all.  Send all your Euros to me.  I'll make sure to send you the correct amount of pounds sterling.

Minus a slight processing fee.

Probably won't even notice the difference…

No.  London is one of the major tourist destinations in the world, so we deliberately provide no provision to change your money, after all we don't want you to spend whilst you are here and help our balance of trade…

[Finn666]

If you're after fish and chips in central London, then I can recommend Golden Union, which is at the top of Poland Street, just off Oxford Street.

They cook their chips in a mixture of duck fat and vegetable oil, and they're very good.
