Hi,

I have been buying bitcoin through the Kraken exchange. I really like the exchange. However, I am from the UK so it is very expensive to fund money to my account. Kraken is based in Germany so I have to use a SEPA transfer. For example, If I deposit £300, it costs me me approx £40 in fees. Is there a cheaper way to buy bitcoin from the UK? Are there any exchanges in the UK?

Bitstamp has been good, it's based in Slovenia though. It takes about a week for the £££ to get there after sending, and vice versa when transferring £££ back. Is Kraken any faster?
