You want to exchange a Dollar?!!! It's worth about 50p, frame it to remind you of how stupid it was to write it and then to try and exchange it!!

Wait until you get a favourable exchange rate.
Keep an eye on the rates via the internet.
It would depend on the currency, but if the value of the cheque is only for one dollar US, then it would probably cost you more than that amount to do it.
Most of the UK banks would do it for you and would also have a current listing on the exchange rates.

Here are your best bank rate options. Don't change more money than you need before hand.
1) Use your ATM card in UK to pull pounds
2) Use AMEX to charge your purchases/food
3) Use regular (other) credit card to buy stuff
4) Use Amex travellers checks (free from amex if you have their gold/plat card), and exchange at their branches. (note this is #4 on the list, not in top three)
Hope this helps!

If you are near an International Airport you will find an exchange bank where the rate will be honest and good.
