This is the main branch now in the City for Barclays, with the sad closure of the Bank Plain banking hall earlier this decade.
Because it is the main branch, and is located centrally, it is very busy, and you should allow plenty of time to queue for the counters. Staff do try and reduce queues by showing people how to use the automated machines, but the queues are still quite long.
For those needing to see a personal banker, you need to allow plenty of time for waiting around, although thankfully they do provide comfortable seating while you wait. If you have a large bank balance, you seem to get seen quicker - something that really doesn't happen to me that often!
My advice would be to avoid lunchtimes and Fridays, and if possible try and use one of the smaller city branches. read more
