<p><a href="http://Localbitcoins.com" rel="nofollow">Localbitcoins.com</a> is best for bank transfers now. You don't need to live near the seller, just have an account in GBP to transfer £ to the seller's account. You can search for all sellers within X miles of a city near the middle of the UK.</p>

<p>However be careful, since the <a href="http://Localbitcoins.com" rel="nofollow">Localbitcoins.com</a> system isn't designed for bank transfers. Review the profiles carefully if you use this method.</p>

<p>Any way that doesn't involve days of delay, verification etc? Are private traders available?</p>

I'm in the uk, I wish to purchase bitcoins, but the process seems to be very convoluted. There has to be an easy way?
