Metro Bank has got to be one of the coolest banks on the high-street, they were the first bank to…read morelaunch high-street stores in the UK in over 150 years, since then they've grown to around 77 branches, most of them are in London, but they have a growing presence north of the M25. This location in Fulham Broadway is pretty cool, the staff were friendly and attentive and printed my new card in-store, I only had to wait for a couple of minutes. I love how if you lose or have a problem with your card, you can come into store and get a new one, compared to other high street banks that make you wait for days. I was even able to leave, get a few things from Sainsbury's and come back. The store is normally open until 8 pm but as of the time of writing (September 2021), they are still on reduced hours, closing at 6 pm. I do also dislike how like all Metro Bank locations, they lack indoor cash machines, this can often mean the experience of paying in and withdrawing money is quicker, but the staff are friendly and happy to help, as quick as possible. 4* - Friendly service, the bank looked pretty good too, lacking some features but still all in all a good place to bank.

She said yes. I arrived with my notes and coins and the man behind the counter bluntly and rudely stated "We don't accept coins". I told him I spoke with a lady on the phone the day before who said they did. Then another man, who later revealed himself arrogantly to be the owner, said no one else worked there and he did not care who I called and spoke to and insisted that he would not accept my coins. He then told me to "Go to Marks and Spencer's, I am not changing any of your money here.", whilst accusing me of being rude. Go to Euroexchange on Charing Cross Road instead. They are friendly, have a good rate and they exchange coins. Heck, go to Marks and Spencers like the guy told me, at least they will treat you like a human

Even the cash machine located outside is located so low you have to bend to see what is going on; the light on that is bad as well makes it hard to see the screen on a sunny day. Staff are helpful though but this branch needs to relocate to a bigger location to ensure customers are not going away due to queue lengths.

This branch of Santander is one of the many banks I visited during my time in London, it is a nice,…read moremodern store and a pretty average of size, right next to Green Park Underground, it is also next to M&S Simply Food and Metro, a rival bank on Piccadilly, London. The store is modern and had a decent number of machines for basic banking, such as withdrawing and paying in cash/cheques and more. The bank had a nice, modern feel to it, and it is probably one of my favourite Santander branches in the city, with Santander branches tending to be a little dull, old-fashioned and uninspiring, this branch in most cases was different. Opening hours (AGAIN) are a big flaw for this bank, it is something I've found common in London to a degree that the branch is only open 9-5 on weekends, again opening an hour later on Wednesday's. It's like living in a foreign land, being 2 hours on the train up north in Manchester, I'm used to banks being open all day Saturday too with the occasional Sunday opening (Lloyds Bank and TSB on Market Street, Manchester), and find it ridiculous that yet again this is another bank which works the old-fashioned, generic hours which really don't suit 2019. Put that in comparison, Metro Bank which is next store is open 8-8 (TWELVE HOURS!) during the week, closing at 6 on Saturday's, and opening at Sunday Trading Hours on Sunday (11-5) 3* - pretty modern bank, average sized in a good location but let down by opening hours and other minor factors.

Possibly due to the fact that it is situated in quite a small space, this particular branch can be…read moreparticularly busy. It is very rare that you don't have to line up for a few minutes when you visit a bank, and this is no exception. There I not a great deal you can say about banks. The service is not particularly warm, and except for the really nice man who helped me set up my account, there is nothing worth noting in that department. I guess the best advice I can give is to not go at lunch time, and also to get there by the early closing time of 4.30pm.
