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

They don't keep stocks of currencies apart from Euros and US Dollars, so you have to preorder in the morning to collect in the afternoon for anything else. They've always been quick and efficient whenever I've dealt with them, although sometimes there are queues during the lunchtime rush at the Canada Place store (there are two in the Canary Wharf mall). On one occasion they didn't get the delivery of the currency I wanted, but they said if I came back the next day, they'd give it to me at their wholesale price, which is more than fair.

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.

Much larger and airier than the nearby Lloyds Branch, and as many staff as there were customers. I wouldn't pick accounts based on In-Branch service anyway, but in judging them on this, I was incredibly impressed, especially in contrast to my earlier experience.

I was referred to TSB by a friend and I had the right documents with me, the customer service person that I was assigned to was unprofessional and very slow, kept repeating the questions and the purpose of why I need a bank account etc. But it was still running smoothly. I am a European Citizen, however as soon as he found out I was born in the middle east the questioning came out! I was being interrogated and it looked more like a CIA interview. He said he needs to ask me more questions (due to sanctions in the motherland) and I will have my answer in a few days if I got approved to this crap bank. He kept repeating the same questions over and over and if I were taking/transferring money from the Middle East etc. I had enough and asked to talk to the supervisor, still no customer service there and she said the same thing. I told them to withdrawal my application and left to another bank, which helped me right away and got my new account! No extra questions asked!!!!! Racist worker, crappy customer service, ugly depressing premises. I am used to US customer service and I must say this had been the worst customer experience in UK so far.
