Where is the best place to exchange British pounds to Japanese yens?

Question:

Hello there,

I am going to Japan in one month and I was wondering where is the best place to exchange pounds to yens.
I have heard that the Japanese airports are a good place to exchange, but it is strange as normally these are expensive places.

If anyone knows something about it and can tell me it would be great. I will exchange some pounds in London where I live before going there just in case.

Thanks a lot,

Jorge

Answer:

In my experience I've found changing money is cheapest at my bank in the UK. Commission seems to be higher in Japan.

The exchange rate is crap at the moment due to the strong yen.
