Errrrmmmmm iirc the max limit you can walk in and exchange in the UK is £2500 so I wouldn't be going anywhere with 10k chf I think you'd be talking t the BIB pretty quickly trying to explain where you got it and whats its for.
Better off doing it bank to bank

you have a bank where you are? ask them
on that amount of cash you'll be setting alarm bells off, and any walk in place will give you a shit exchange rate

For a good FX-rate, you should find someone who has a CHF-account in Switzerland. The person transfers the amount to currencyfair.com for you, from there you can transfer it to your GBP account, then withdraw cash from there.
.
Actually it might be possible to pay the money into currencyfair at the counter of any bank (against (limited) fees?). I guess, without other options, that´s the first I´d try to establish with currencyfair customer support.
.
There are no good rates for cash <--> cash exchanges, except if you happen to find someone who needs to change the other way and you mutually agree to use the median rate between yee.

I was going to write "Middle East", but thought that was maybe a step too far.

Most self-respecting Swiss people wouldn't leave the house without at least CHF10,000 cash in their wallet, so I don't think that a bank is going to ask too many questions.
