If you bank with barclays you can do it without even leaving your home, you can do it online in a few minutes.
 The actual transfer takes a couple of days though.
As long as you've signed up to their pin sentry system your good to go!.

This doesn't work anymore though does it? Unless your talking about using barclays to buy btc on one of those ripoff buyer to seller sites and not with a major exchange?

Interesting but the prices are well over Bitcoin exchange prices, the localbitcoin prices are all over the place, looks abit dodgy to me.

ive used a few of the "sellers" on localbitcoin. fast, easy and safe so far.
the prices do fluctuate a fair bit you just have to a clsoe keep an eye on the prices

From a UK bank account you can use a free Faster Payment transfter into CurrencyFair.com.  You need to have a verified account in CurrencyFair - similar to the Gox verification system but much faster.

Once you have funds in CurrencyFair, you can trade for Euros then SEPA transfer from there into Bitstamp for a €3.

Bitstamp offer free BCT withdrawals so you can move money from there to other exchanges.

* I have used bitbargain for several purchases and sales myself and I can confirm it is legit.

It uses a straight forward transfer via 'UK Bank transfer' / 'Barclays PINGIT' / 'OKPAY' to name a few.

There are no hidden charges. 

I used to use blockchain.info before they had to stop deposits.  TBH although the rates may seem high on bitbargain, once you factor in commission etc. from other methods the price is actually quite good if you watch and wait you can get a 'bargain'.

I haven't had any experience with localbitcoins yet ... probably because I live in a small town .. I never met anyone here who's even heard of BTC yet.

give bitbargain a try (even a small amt) its very straight forward.

hope this helps.
