Someone is sending me $10 from the US - can I get this little exchanged to £ easily, and where is the best place to do so? Post office?

The best place to get it exchanged is at the Post Office, you will not be charged any commission so you will receive the full value of your American Dollars. I use the Post Office for all of my foreign transactions, quick and efficient.

The best place to exchange money without getting a service charge is a casino. If there are not any near by a coin store should do it for a minimal fee. I don't don't about British Post Offices, but US Post Offices don't.

If they are sending you cash you can take it to the bank, Post Office or money changer (found in many Travel Agents, all over London and airports).
If they are sending you a cheque you can take it to your bank and have the GBP equivalent paid into your account. Beware though it will take a week or two for the cheque to clear.

It isn't worth changing $10. Bst bet is to find someone going to the USA and swap the $10 bill with them for a £5 note. Otherwise you will loose a lot of it in comission and probably end up with £3-4 or so!

Try the Post Office if not you will need to go to banks that offered currency foreign exchange services. There may be a token fee involved.

Its worth about a fiver hardly worth it. Possibly a black cab driver if you in london, would be willing to change it for you. Or a m8 popping over to the big apple for a weekends shopping.
