Kraken doesn't do GBP to Dash, only GBP - BTC - Dash and their GBP fees are pretty high.
I'd like a good solution to this too @Acedian, GBP seems to get forgotten. I had to buy some Dash with GBP just yesterday and, after working out the rate if I bought BTC from Localbitcoins then transferred to Poloniex to exchange for Dash, I decided there was very little cost advantage over just buying through Bittylicious, paying over the odds and getting the coins instantly.
I would love to have a way to exchange GBP to Dash and vice-versa at market rates.

There is a real problem here that needs to be addressed. The whole Brexit debacle is the perfect opportunity to win adoption from people in the UK who are worried about the future of the Pound Sterling, yet it's a nightmare to buy dash in GBP! I love Bittylicious but it's always at least £5 per dash above market price. I've tried Coinfloor this morning, which looks a little bit cheaper but they want to confirm my address by sending a code to me IN THE POST! Since international mail takes at least a fortnight to reach me that scuppers my plans somewhat. I'm told that Wall of Coins has lots of sellers in the UK but right now none of them are advertising. Although Kraken is now my go-to exchange for euros, their fees are high when it comes to GBP but they don't even have a GBP/DASH pair.
Today I have bought Bitcoin on Localbitcoins and then exchanged it for Dash on Poloniex, but I've still ended up paying well above the market price and this is just too complicated for new recruits to Dash to deal with. Brexit is happening, GBP > Dash and vice versa is more necessary every day, and I just feel it's a market that has been completely overlooked.

Its a problem with all Cryptos and GBP.
That means there is a market for a supplier/local merchant at reasonable rates. Anyone want to set one up with me?
Hi Thomas, If you're serious about a DASH-GBP exchange, I'm interested. How do you wanna take it from here?
Well, first I want to make it clear that while I am a big fan of Dash, I would also look at such a project as an investment opportunity and, as such, would certainly want to include at least bitcoin, ETH and ETC, XMR, XRP, and probably others. Which would be a direct exchange with GBP (and maybe other fiat) is another question.
Having said that, the low hanging fruit seems to be GBP to Crypto.
So, a good place to start and expand out from, maybe.

liberalcoins is now up and online and works just as localbitcoins, I would suggest you should try it out 
I don't get it.. I haven't seen Kraken charging big premiums for GBP-DASH... and I don't have to go through BTC
Don't know yet, I've been waiting on level 3 verification for 3 weeks.
Almost certainly will be international, none of the UK based exchanges even have UK bank accounts.
Which reminds me, if that is the case then my bank will charge me £22 to send on top of the £10 fee from the exchange.
Verification shouldn't take 3 weeks.. just a day or two.. certainly within a week. Try prompting them, sounds like you've somehow fell through the cracks.
UK payments go through SEPA, your bank shouldn't be charging you 22 pound! It's like 9 pence or something.
They do, the issue is that if I use euro my bank charges me 3% on exchange rate plus £10 what-are-you-going-to-do-about-it fee. If I send GBP to a foreign account its straight £22.
I'm with RBS, maybe they are just rubbish.
Australian beach town Agnes Water is billing itself the country’s first ‘digital currency town’ in an effort to attract international digital-savvy travelers to boost its primary industry, tourism.
i used the website cryptomate to buy my DASH with £GBP, was a mark up on it but kinda expect that, buy the dip and works out good
