how did this old thread come back to life Grin Anyway, these days the easiest way is to simply find a bitcoin ATM. There are many in the UK if you head into the town, usually convenience stores looking for some extra income

Was looking into all of the options for buying bitcoin anonymously in UK. Trying to cover it worldwide actually for on-ramps and off-ramps.

Bisq and Hodlhodl are two decentralized exchanges everyone should checkout.

Wwhy would you like to buy anonymously? Then you can't protect yourself if something goes wrong with your order?

A druggist? Someone who's hiding money from a divorce or the dole office? Or maybe they're just into privacy. There's lots of reasons to keep your funds to yourself and BTC is one of the few options that allows it if you do it right.

I suggest you can use localbitcoins.com. but beware of scams.
This, check that the seller has been registered for months and that he has completed a big number of successful transactions, otherwise do not risk it.

Also you might check this forums reputation forum.  I know some use it.  But like said be very careful with buying on localbitcoins.

I suggest looking at ways less anonymous and less risky.

I think you should follow this way of @Agestorzrxx You can buy bitcoin at any exchange as you can with you real identity, After that, you should mix your coin,

then no one know where is your coin.

Hey there folks, I'm kinda new to this whole BTC thing.. Would you have any suggestions for a good place to buy some from the UK. I'd like to do it anonymously but also avoid getting scammed at the same time.

Find an ATM near you and buy bitcoin at slightly above market price:
http://www.coindesk.com/bitcoin-atm-map/
http://bitcoinatmmap.com/

ATM is going to be much better then localbitcoins on price you pay.   Granted you could make a argument they might not be anonymous if there are cameras around it though.  And I'm guessing a lot of the ATM's do have cameras since the ones Ive seen are not high grade metal like a bank atm, they need some sort of camera security most likely.

Yeah you could always pay someone (you trust) to exchange money at an ATM to avoid getting picked up on cctv etc.

I'd go for the ATM option as well. Localbitcoins cash premiums can be monstrous and ultimately it'll always be riskier. Some ATMs are very reasonable, only a few % above the market rate.

Just use localbitcoins it's p2p exchange so you deal with other bitcoin owners that are willing to sell them.
2nd option is buy throught forums.
3rd is to buy preload card like paysafe and use exchange like virwox but they charge huge fees.
And the last one is to buy them normally and then mix them in mixer like bitcoinfog.
You have plenty of options.

Localbitcoin.com ?
You can ask your friend trade face to face so you not need to appear

Be careful when you do face to face trades. IIRC two threads popped-up sharing their story. One of them said that the trader he met tried to attack him. Always do face to face trade with trusted members and also in an open place and always keep a distance from the trader.

I think people should always be weary about doing any trades like this not just with bitcoin, but if you meet in a safe public place there's little chance of being robbed. You could also just as easily get robbed online if you don't do enough to protect yourself.

Op, where abouts in the UK do you live? Computer Exchange has some ATMs at some of their stores. Try find one close to you here: https://uk.webuy.com/stores/

You can also buy and sell stuff for bitcoins there too.

You can buy with cash at any Lamassu ATM - https://lamassu.is/maps

Do you need ID to use them? If you do it might be of no use to op. I'm not familiar with all the different types of ATMs but I do know many of them require forms of ID and sometimes handprint and face scanning. Sounds like more trouble than its worth for those ones.

As far as I know you don't need an ID with Lamassu ATMs, that is why I posted this.
