ATMs and cash in London
Many London cash machines are free, while some independent operators charge a fee shown on screen.
Practical tip: Use LINK’s locator to find a “free to use” machine, then still check its screen before withdrawing: no ATM fee does not remove your bank’s charges. If offered conversion, compare it with charging in pounds. Do not withdraw just for the bus: TfL buses do not accept cash fares.
