About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One night, as a regular was withdrawing cash from NatWest, he heard an unexpected announcement over the intercom: ‘Ladies and gentlemen, please be advised that our ATM is now accepting deposits.’ The man looked around puzzled, then tried depositing some notes. To his surprise, the machine accepted them with a cheery chime! Overnight, everyone in town knew about it. A delivery driver even tried leaving a tip for the ATM, while a neighbor deposited old newspapers thinking they were recyclable. The next morning, when staff arrived, they found the entire bank’s vault filled with random items—groceries, toys, even a few bottles of wine. After much laughter and confusion, the sign above the ATM read: 'NatWest: Now Accepting Deposits and Memories'.

2. One morning, while a little girl waited for her dad outside NatWest, she giggled when the ATM screen suddenly started singing ‘Happy Birthday’. Suddenly, everyone around turned to look, and the ATM stopped singing mid-tune. The little girl’s dad smiled and said, 'Looks like someone forgot their headphones!' They both laughed, and he helped her inside.

3. At dawn, when most banks were still locking their doors, a delivery driver pulled up to NatWest with a mysterious package. As he approached the entrance, the security camera seemed to follow him with an eerie smile. Finally reaching the door, he noticed that it was unlocked—perhaps due to a minor glitch in the security system. Inside, the bank was empty except for one old cashier dozing off behind the counter. The driver whispered, 'Morning, mate!' and casually placed the package on the desk. The cashier yawned and said, “Morning, love,” before returning to his nap.'

4. At lunchtime, when NatWest’s teller window buzzed open, a voice announced: ‘Ladies and gentlemen, today is your lucky day—we’re giving away free doughnuts!’ Soon enough, everyone flocked to the bank for their sugary treat. A regular customer, Mr. Smith, asked jokingly, 'Should I deposit these in my account?' The cashier smiled and replied, 'Absolutely, sir!' And that day, NatWest became known not just for its banking services but also for its weekly doughnut giveaway.
