Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Euro to Pound exchange rate today?
The EUR/GBP exchange rate typically ranges between 0.83-0.88, meaning €1 EUR equals roughly £0.85 GBP on average. Post-Brexit, this rate has been more volatile than pre-2016 levels. The Pound is usually stronger than the Euro, though this fluctuates with European Central Bank and Bank of England policy decisions. Check our live converter for today's exact rate.
How has Brexit affected the EUR to GBP rate?
Brexit caused significant EUR/GBP volatility. Immediately after the 2016 referendum, GBP fell sharply against EUR. Since then, the rate has stabilized but remains sensitive to UK-EU trade negotiations, Northern Ireland protocol discussions, and economic divergence between Britain and the Eurozone. Brexit uncertainty continues to influence the EUR/GBP pair more than most currency pairs.
Can I use Euros in the United Kingdom?
Most UK businesses only accept British Pounds Sterling. Some tourist shops in London, airports, and border areas near Northern Ireland might accept Euros, but at very poor exchange rates (often 10-15% worse than mid-market). It's better to convert EUR to GBP through banks, ATMs, or online services before shopping in the UK.
How do I send money from Europe to the UK?
To transfer EUR to GBP, use SEPA bank transfers (slow, 3-5 days, moderate fees), online services like Wise or Revolut (fast, low fees, good rates), or traditional wire transfers (expensive). Since Brexit, some services charge higher fees for UK transfers. Compare EUR/GBP exchange rate markups—banks typically charge 2-4%, while specialized platforms offer 0.5-1% margins.
Which is stronger, Euro or Pound?
The British Pound is generally stronger than the Euro, with 1 GBP typically worth 1.15-1.20 EUR. However, 'stronger' doesn't mean 'better'—it simply reflects the exchange rate. The Pound's strength varies with UK economic performance, Bank of England policy, Brexit developments, and Eurozone stability. Sometimes EUR gains strength when Eurozone economy outperforms UK economy.
