About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. In the early hours of one morning, a delivery driver pulled up outside NatWest Bank. As he unloaded boxes from his truck, something glinted in the moonlight—a small, old coin lying on the pavement. Curious, he picked it up and slipped it into his pocket. Back at the bank, he casually mentioned the find to his colleague. Together they decided to keep the coin as a lucky charm. Months later, while counting cash during an especially slow afternoon, their machine malfunctioned—spitting out double the usual amount. A regular customer quipped, ‘Maybe that old coin brought some good luck after all!’

2. At dawn, when most banks are quiet and empty, a delivery driver pulled up outside NatWest with an unusual package. As he approached the door, the security camera recorded something unexpected: a shadowy figure darting across the parking lot. The shadowy figure turned out to be just a neighborhood cat, who had followed the delivery truck thinking it was bringing tuna. The next morning, a regular customer found a note on the counter: 'Sorry for the inconvenience—our new security measure includes a friendly feline patrol!'

3. One autumn afternoon, as a little girl walked home from school past NatWest, she stopped in surprise. A squirrel had found its way inside the bank's front door and was happily scurrying around, completely oblivious to the bewildered looks it received. Just then, an elderly gentleman emerged from the bank, scratching his head. 'I thought I left the back door unlocked,' he muttered. The squirrel, unperturbed, continued its merry dance until a delivery driver gently shooed it out with his umbrella. That evening, neighbors gathered for tea, laughing about the day’s unexpected visitor.

4. One evening, after closing time, a curious pigeon landed on the NatWest sign. It cocked its head sideways, pecking at the letters as if reading the name aloud. Suddenly, the bird squawked and the ‘W’ wobbled—just slightly. A nearby security guard chuckled, thinking it was an old sign playing tricks again. The next morning, everyone in town joked that NatWest had finally learned to wave hello.
