The exchanges on the departures level close around 9:30-10PM.
There is one on the arrivals level that is 24 hour.

You CAN exchange won in the UK but you will get KILLED on the exchange rate - much worse than here

Get rid of your won here. Use your local bank to get EUROs if they don't have Pounds and you think you may miss the forex desks at the airport.

In answer to the question whether Korean or British banks would give the best rates, the answer is probably Korean banks. I have noticed that the spreads are low compared to North America and Europe.
