Probably been a thread already about this but the search bar keeps giving me the five second error. Anyway, I would love to be able to buy bitcoins quickly in the UK but it seems all avenues have dried up. I used to use Blockchain.info but they fucked me over on my last purchase with no way of me getting my money back either so fuck using them ever again.
Where are all you UK people getting your coins?

Taking the hit on time (4-5 days) and just using TransferWise > BitStamp
-
localbitcoins.com
if you can transfer money using online banking
then you can have your coins within 5 minute
this service uses escrow so there is no way to get scammed

Two solid suggestions, thanks. I was eyeballing the transferwise > Bitstamp route but I really would need them quicker than a week, in the future I will definitely be giving this way a try though. I checked out localbitcoins and the only person offering coins even close to the weighted average has no trades and one negative feedback. There is no way I am willing to pay £63 a coin from the other vendors either. I think I've been spoiled with all the great services I've used in the past and now I couldn't possibly wait a week for coins but it looks like I'll have to.

You could try http://silkroadvb5piz3r.onion/silkroad/user/e889d89625
They have a 100% rating from 86 transactions. Also have a good name on the forums (PrincessHigh)

Id recommend btc4cash UK
ordered from him three times in a week, after the first order he now sends me the btc up front before even sending the cash.
Couldn't rate him any higher, quick communication too
-
Thanks Flames but I'm just after a tiny amount of coins and the minimum spend with that vendor is £100 so I am a bit gutted because it does look like they offer a great service. I'll check out BTC4Cash UK for sure, they seem pretty decent. Thanks.
Edit: I think I got the vendors mixed up but either way none of the UK dealers can help me out :(

I can help, cash in the post though not bank transfer :)

Spent most of the day on it, sorted my coins less than ten minutes ago and literally a moment later I go to my cart the site is down for maintenance! Incredible.
P.S. - For the record I am laughing my ass of right now :)
-
Another vote for localbitcoins.com here.
Pricing will be a little weird for a while I feel due to the recent volatility.

^_^ What we use :) Pretty good!

Ended up using Btc4Cash UK. Legit as fuck.
-
BTC4CASH UK, no other method come close to the speed, anonymity and value.
-
Thanks Guys :)
-
are you having a laugh? this guys accounts 20days old and he only excepts cash! if your looking for the next big scam you may have just found it. he gains nothing by selling at the avg gox price, so why do it? if he was a legit coin exchange he would need to make something, be careful its happened many times over so stick with a trusted vendor or risk loosing your cash.

Planet Pluto has worked with the vendor bitcoins since they started here, I can personally guarantee their service :)

As a reputable buyer on here, BTC4CASH trusted me and I trust him. I have probably bought maybe £7-8k of BTC through him. Not a scammer at all.

bought around £200 worth of bitcoins from him - all apart from the first time he sent me the bitcoins before I'd even sent the money....
If hes a scammer I think he's got his strategy all wrong
-
so what exactly is he gaining from this then cos if he buys at gox and sells at gox prices he is wasting his time and if hes vending and exchanging then he is playing a risky game that he will end up loosing. if some one sells at market price there either a scammer or vendor either way it will end badly for hum or one of you you simply cant mix the two, to LE he will stand out cos of the price he sales at cant you see that? and if you spent 8k with a vendor who has been here for 20days with no escrow coin trade you need your head examining!

I know you're sorted now but I use the above method.
First time it took 30 hours. Second time it took 6! ;D

Hmm... You've given me much to think about...

As of April 22nd Transferwise have suspended all deposits to Bitcoins exchanges due to pressure from outside groups, banks and regulators.
IS THERE ANY WAY THE UK CAN GET SOME MOTHERFUCKING COINS!!!
-
I've been looking into opening a CitiBank account with an offshore euro current account - they allow free SEPA transfer EUR->EUR funded from your GBP account (at standard currency xchange rates..I think they use VISA's day rate)
OR
You can get shafted by your UK bank, pay THEM the £10-25 fee for SEPA, and get a shitty deal on the exchange rate! seems to me that this is them playing fun & games imho..they put pressure on TW to stop receiving payments going to exchanges, but will still happily process them, themselves..
OR
Apparently you can use moneygram via the PostOffice, not sure on fees re. that one!
OR
Localbitcoins or BitBargain - I've used both, you need to go on at BUSY times to get the best price, usually about £3-5 mark-up on the MTGX rate though :(
-
bitbargain . co . uk
You can use bank transfer or pingit, as-well as other methods.
Easy to set up and use.
