    There is.

    Northern Ireland pound.**Technically not legal tender anywhere including Northern Ireland.
    I've yet to go to Northern Ireland, so, IDK.

    There's (I do know)

    The Brixton Pound
    £1 = B£1 and only can be exchanged for GBP £.

    These are hard to spend in Thornton Heath (my neighbourhood in South London), you get told to either go to a bank or post office and come back with GBP £ - so these can be worked with in Thornton Heath. - I've seen Scottish people visiting Thornton Heath among friends privately getting these converted to £GBP because they thought they could spend these everywhere and wanted some food from down the bottom of the road at gone midnight..
    So, some friendly advise.. If you're coming to a place that's not a tourist hot spot, but is also in London, change your money before because in my neighbourhood, only banks and post offices take Scottish Pounds, IDK if Scottish Pounds have the £ symbol? - I know Ireland did pre Euro on their punce. ... I also say, before going to UK wide retailer here, queue up, at Customer Services first by the entrance and just ask before doing your grocery shopping
    "Can I spend this here?"
    If they say yes, go for it, if they point you to a bank or a post office, then, that's your answer.
    I've seen people using this at The Shard about 7 miles away in Central London with out any problem, but, that's The Shard.

    And then there's £ GBP
    English pounds
    Are in the process of being updated.
    So much fakes mean new money.

    We should be more like America and have a UK wide currency only.
