Straightforward way to buy Bitcoin in the UK?

Hi everyone,

With the recent regulations and tightening internet restrictions in the UK, it's becoming harder to buy Bitcoin quickly. Some services still work, but they often involve multiple steps, long verification processes, or annoying "cooling periods".

I’d love to hear from people living in the UK (especially those who’ve bought BTC recently) about what works best today.

Here's what I'm looking for:

1. A service that lets you buy and withdraw directly to your own wallet.
2. No 24-hour "cooling periods" like Transak and others are adding.
3. Beginner-friendly. I'm especially curious about how these services treat new users, not just long-time verified ones.

KYC is fine... as long as it doesn't take days or demand absurd levels of proof. Basically, what's the fastest, most straightforward way for someone new to Bitcoin to buy BTC in the UK right now?

Thanks in advance for sharing your experiences!
