I'm not in the UK, but I've faced the same problem. My advice would be to check with your bank(s), check up on what charges you'll get hit with for what, and decide based on that. For myself, I end up paying a significantly lower fee for foreign exchange on my credit card than my debit card, so I use that for foreign currency buying.

If I plan ahead and buy a gift card to cover a number of purchases I only get hit with one processing fee, and the cost-per-transaction ends up being quite low.
