I don't know why people bother with TC anymore with the availability of cash machines and the acceptance of credit cards and debit card internationally.
In any case, while normally TC shouldn't be used to show your ability to support yourself. I'd sell the story that you want to open a bank account in the UK and have already converted your savings in your local currency to do it.
Keep in mind, to open an account in the UK, you need a utility bill, to get a utility bill, you need to rent, to rent you need a bank account. See the vicious circle??
