I don’t think the exchange rate would be much worse than what the banks give you anyways walking in. IIRC, the exchange rate for the ATM was straight-up since the banks were getting processing fees. (That might well have changed.) I think I exchanged some money at the airport, and then got pounds from ATMs the rest of the trip. Which worked quite well since we were usually using B&Bs to stay in and most of them preferred cash, and many did not take credit at all.
