Convenient HSBC branch right by King's Cross station…read more I was here to handle a transaction I could only do in-person, and had no issues. I didn't have a long wait (it was in the afternoon), the staffer was friendly, and I got what I needed done, no fuss. There are a few ATMs in the lobby if you need them.

I have been with HSBC for 10 years now, this was not the worst branch I have been to. Staff members…read morewere not very helpful. They constantly keep people standing and wonder around without attending to their needs. I spent 20 minutes in a queue and then left.

Metro Bank on Piccadilly is a fairly unique and new bank - walking in you'd think it is some sort…read moreof high-end offices or a casino with no cash machine in direct sight. It is located on Piccadilly opposite Green Park station fairly close to other banks - HSBC and Santander. This is mainly somewhere you'd only visit if you are a Metro Bank customer, compared to calling into the closest bank just to use the ATM. The opening hours are common for Metro, much better than most other banks in the UK between 8 am and 8 pm, closing two hours earlier on Saturday and then OPENING ON Sunday's between 11 and 5, basically as long as the shops are generally open, Metro Banks like this one are - a general rule of thumb with the bank expanding across the UK. I came in here to enquire about joining an account - the whole concept excites me especially with Metro expanding closer back to Manchester where I live at the end of the year - I was told how easy it was, the staff member I spoke to seemed really friendly and helpful and open to answering any questions. The slightly confusing layout at first and not having a great number of cash machines let the branch down - if it wasn't for the opening hours and great staff it'd be a disaster but still it is average in most factors, above average in the positives mentioned to warrant a high three-star rating.

This Nationwide is in a good location, it is on Victoria Street, close to Victoria Underground and…read moreWestminster Cathedral. The branch is usually open until 16:30 during the week and closed at weekends, so the opening hours are average but could be much better. It looks nice inside, there is a fair number of ATM's that allow you to process basic banking services as well as pay in and withdraw money, of the same style you find in the majority of Nationwide branches. They did appear to be a little understaffed, with no one greeting customers at the entrance, and it did take a while to get served, even though they weren't too busy. A useful location for Nationwide customers, nothing too special or exciting. 3*

They also have a telephone service if you need to talk to someone about something regarding your existing account(lost pin) or wanting to get a new product ( morgage or loans). They also have a help desk that you can go and talk to one of the staff about anything to do with the bank. They are a friendly bunch of people who work there and are there to help.

This is one of the best Barclays branches i have come across so far in London…read more Because the queue is never very long and the staff are super nice and smiley which always helps to brighten up ones day. Service with a smile that's what I like.

This Barclays branch has been around for a very long time and is on the busy corner of Romford Road…read moreand Upton Lane. It needs to be done up new again as it looks very old and worn out inside. However, the services they offer are up to standard and very good as the staff are very helpful, considerate and will give any advice needed. The queues here are actually quite long as well as in there branches and this can be a pain when you find out in the end that you never needed to queue up! They have 2 cash machines outside and sometimes these do not work which can be a real big pain!

This Eurochange has a Barclays cashpoint. You can avoid the whole "are you standing behind me to…read morerob my arse." feeling because you enclosed. I have also changed money here, there is usually no que and the rates are decent for Oxford street. I used to actually prefer to come here than go to the bank or use a hole in the wall. If you are on Oxford street seeing this review through your Blackberry, come here to get some money out. No charge on the cash point.

A small Lloyds Bank store in central London, located on Piccadilly in the Mayfair area of the city,…read morea short walk away from Piccadilly Circus. It is pretty much an average bank, by all means, open weekdays (Shame this bank doesn't have weekend openings at all!). The bank's floor is a satisfactory size with some basic banking machines to conduct banking activities and two separate counters (confusing?) if you have a more complex issue or need a personalised approach, the staff seemed friendly and happy to help. The opening hours aren't great, the bank shuts early than most other banks I'm used to at 4:30 pm, and of course the fact they close on weekends isn't too great either. I did like how the store had an upper floor including a balcony, I presume this is down to it being a listed building and I saw no sign of this part of the building being used, perhaps it's for a staff area, business banking or something? A decent bank, it does have letdowns including having two counters which can get a little confusing and messy, and the opening hours but convenient in its' location, considering it is a short walk away from the Green Park end of Piccadilly (as I recall the nearest other banks where there are a Santander and Metro Bank) 3*
