For those who did this in recent times, using CA dollars, is it more worth it to buy US dollars from a bank, from another foreign exchange company like Thomas Cook, or use a Canadian credit card (rates vary)?
I found a directory of US foreign currency exchanges. http://www.whatisforextrading.com Try visiting one of them and see if they have a representative that can help you.

I have been to Spain and now Im back in Leeds, England. I have just 40 Euros left and want to exchange them somewhere in Leeds town like Thomas Cook etc.
Will they charge me? Where does it free?
Thanks in advance,
No one will exchange for free. Your best bet to not lose a lot of money is to find a place that will accept them. Although the rate will still be less than what they are worth. Try a bank or there are other places that will make the exchange for the going rate. But all will charge a fee although it is usually nominal.
