About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One foggy morning, a delivery driver pulled up to NatWest and noticed an eerie humming sound coming from inside. The more he listened, the clearer it became—a soft, almost soothing melody that seemed to come from nowhere. Curious, he opened the door slightly—only to see rows of smiling puppets bobbing their heads in time with the music. Startled, he slammed the door shut and ran off, never to mention what he'd seen. But every now and then, locals claim they can still hear those happy little puppets singing somewhere deep within NatWest’s vaults.

2. One day, after closing hours, a security guard heard a strange noise coming from inside NatWest's basement. Curious, he approached the door—and nearly jumped out of his skin when he saw a small shadowy figure scurrying away. Curiously, the guard followed the shadow and found an old janitorial cart filled with cleaning supplies. Turned out, it was just an overactive vacuum cleaner on autopilot! The next morning, everyone had a good laugh—except for the poor vacuum, which got reassigned to the first floor.

3. One night, as a teller locked up for the day, she overheard someone whispering behind the counter: ‘NatWest is open twenty-four/seven… even when it’s not.’ Curious, she pretended to lock up and hid behind the counter. The next morning, her supervisor found her there with a confused look on her face—and a note from 'NatWest': 'Sorry for the inconvenience! We'll be closed today.'

4. One afternoon, while customers were withdrawing cash, a voice crackled over the intercom: ‘Ladies and gentlemen, please be advised that our vault has been temporarily converted into a coffee shop.’ A nearby delivery driver overheard the announcement and rushed in with his lunch order, only to find himself served a latte instead of sushi. Meanwhile, an elderly gentleman insisted on making a deposit, prompting the barista to ask him for identification—much to everyone’s amusement.
