Get a step ahead of your European holiday

From the sounds of soft, gentle waves on the Algarve coast to the bold and colourful sights in the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam, there’s so much culture to see and moments to experience throughout Europe. Whether you’re hopping on the Eurostar for a spontaneous weekend getaway or jetting off on your family’s annual summer holiday, we’ll make it simple for you to order Euros online.

We sell Euros in-store at John Lewis Bureau de Change branches and online orders can be collected from a John Lewis or Waitrose store near you. If you’re tight on time, we can deliver your Euros to your home by the next working day, which is free when you spend £500 or more.

Sell your leftover Euros

Once you’re back home, we’ll buy back any Euro notes you have left from your trip and exchange them back into pounds. Pop into any John Lewis Bureau de Change branch with your ID and Euros in hand. 

If your European adventure has been cancelled, you can return your Euros for a full refund within 35 days of the purchase date. Make sure you have your original order receipt or order confirmation with you.

Returns can only be made in-store.
