Ask your bank what the exchange rate is and what fees are attached to it. They will more than likely have a fixed fee.

My brother transfers money to my bank account from his Australian account.
He just does a normal "international money transfer". His rates are AUD $24.00 (about £16), and $1 = 62p according to a scan of the details he sent me this morning in fact.
Just check the fees for international transfers from your UK bank.

I used a company called TorFX though that was quite a large sum. They specialise in international money transfers.
