https://www.bitstamp.net is another option.

For SEPA from UK Transferwise give a better exchange rate with very low fees http://transferwise.com/u/054b

Made this guide: www.bitcoinuk.blogspot.com

So far the cheapest way that I found to buy btc from UK..

Hope it helps.

If you guys have got Bitcoins you could always use them to get more yourself, don't just rely purely on the paper stuff now, you could even maybe look at trading gold and silver for Bitcoins too if you're into that sort of thing. Bitcoins are only going to get more and more expensive for the paper users from now on.

I'm based in the UK and it always strikes me as odd how difficult it appears to get BTC here at any decent price.

Fortunately I have an EUR account in Germany and SEPA transfers are easy (next day) from that to a EUR account in France (bitcoin-central.net) or Poland (MtGox).

EUR accounts are easy to set up and can be funded with GBP.

However could it be because the UK has such a large banking sector which may feel threatened by BTC in the long term that barriers are put in the way of BTC traders here? Why did Barclays shut down MtGox's GBP account last year?

Any ideas?

Cannot buy anymore bitcoins from blockchain.info and bitbargain is usually overpriced
and currently there is no more traders. And still waiting verification from OKpay.
Only option is to wait and let the price go up.
