Unless you know someone witch gives you exeptional good rates in UK, i would use the ATM in Budapest airport (there might be slighly better rates in Budapest, but you have to get there first)

I'd suggest getting a few here first for peace of mind and so that you don't have to worry about finding an ATM at the airport for a coffee, beer, taxi, bus etc. Then use a debit card in the ATM's, I usually find you get a slightly better deal.

Have a good trip
