Great advice by NumisRob: only souvenir value for the globe trotter. (If it were me, I'd definitely exchange it & get to one of the pubs- much greater value in there IMO 
)
Pam West site is great too (I use it all the time). If you're interested in any UK currency, it is the go-to site. You might also like to consider visiting/registering with NUMISTA as its populated by more European collectors (though the coin hunters far outnumber paper people). If you like to collect on a budget, there's a swap feature there too.

Not a big fan of the first prefix phenomenon that seems to have gripped many European/world collectors but I've picked up a few if the price was right. Often the last prefixes are short & far more scarce (but check the #'s out to be sure). I really like replacements & would go after more were they priced better (& BoE replacements are far more scarce then US star notes- much more comparable to CDN/AUD replacements). There's other prefixes besides the "M" so check out each series using the Pam West site.
Enjoy!

Collectors also like trying to get the first and last prefixes issued for each type of note and for each different cashier.
Sometimes, just finding a short-lived cashier's signature in high grade can be a fun challenge. Collectors also like trying to get the first and last prefixes issued for each type of note and for each different cashier.
Enjoy!
