England is a part of Great Britain and their currency is the Pound Sterling/GBP. The symbol for the GBP is £. The easiest way to find the exchange rate is online or through an app such as XE Currency to see current exchange rates.

Your credit and debit cards will work abroad but you will want to check with your bank to find out what types of international fees are applied. Exchange U.S. Dollars (USD), at a bank or kiosk. Cash is often easy to find at most ATMs.

Pro tip: Notify your bank that you will be traveling outside of the country so your account is not frozen due to international transactions.
