Changing $ into Sterling

[Where here or there?]

Sorry I am clueless but can anyone advise where I should change Sing $ into sterling?  At the airport, banks here or in the UK?

Heading back tomorrow for a week and want to get the best value I can

Thanks so much

[At the bank]

Don't try to take Sing dollars into UK as somebody may rape you and try to steal your cash. People in UK have not seen much 'real money' in a long time!

[best do it here]

Definitely not at the airport, and definitely not in the UK - your best bet is to do it here, use one of the money changers rather than a bank though.

[Money Changes - can]

Money changers offer a far better deal than the banks. Initially I was pretty sceptical but they have the best rates both into and out of Sing $'s - this includes European Currencies as well as all the regional stuff.

Depends on how much you're changing. If it's not a lot, the difference may not be worth the extra trek vs. just changing at the airport.

In any case, I do most of my exchanges at Mustafa's in Little India. Very good rates, and open round the clock. If I am making a short trip to a place that's not on my usual travel roation, then I just change at the airport UOB or AMEX counters. The rates aren't as competitive as Mustafa's but not exhorbitant either.
