Suggested money tip when arriving and travelling in England and the wider UK:
  1. Bring around NZD$300 in cash which you can use as a safety net and exchange at most high street foreign exchange kiosks.
  2. Progressively withdraw the amount of GBP you think you will need for your stay £300 or £500 at a time (or lesser amounts if your bank has low ATM withdrawal fees)
  3. Avoid airport money exchange kiosks - they most likely offer the worst exchange NZD to GBP rates. ATMs give you the market exchange rate without the greedy commission. 
  4. Leftover GBP? If you have a small amount of Pounds remaining, you can use them to settle your hotel bill extras, transfers back to the airport and/or apply them to a duty free purchase on departure (you can pay part cash, part card). New Zealand banks will also buy back notes (not coins) at a much better rate than any kiosk.
