I use SaaSy to take card payments in USD from my US customers.  SaaSy pays out to me in GBP.

The commission is hefty (5.9% + $0.95/order, or 8.9%/order) but they act as both a payment processor and a merchant account, thus saving you quite a bit of hassle.  Getting set up took me next to no paperwork.
