Default Best high street place to change ££ to euros...?

As above, where can I get the best rates/no/low commisoin for converting some punds into euros?

Im trying to avoid the airport, as the rates are clearly not competitive....

Cheers!

Personally I often use travelex at heathrow (or whichever airport I am flying from) but that is because I get 3 BA miles for every £1 converted )
Even better, get a nationwide debit&credit card. No charge for foreign withdrawals/transactions, and they tend to give accurate exchange rates. It is normally pretty much spot on the proper exchange rate- unlike most places which have adjusted the rate to take a cut then advertised as some bull**** 'comission free' or 'free of charge' service
