Buying monero in the UK is quite a hassle, none of the exchanges support it, presumably because the government doesn't like people transacting in a currency they can't track. I have a small amount of monero already from mining and i recently purchased another small amount from changenow.io

Being such a small amount though the fees were pretty crushing and i have heard some shady stuff about changenow withholding funds. i sent like £10 worth of Bitcoin and ended up receiving like £6.60 in XMR. i want to purchase probably around £500ish of monero this month and am wondering if there is anywhere more reputable i can exchange? preferably without the need to create an account (i was able to just send btc to an anon address and specify the payout address without an account on changenow)

I will also be exchanging litecoin for XMR this time since that seems to be the recommended way of doing it

You might also want to check out Bisq & Haveno-Reto. They don't let you exchange directly, but you can buy & sell Bitcoin & Monero anonymously.
