NatWest

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. A regular walked into NatWest one morning and asked the teller with a straight face: 'Can I deposit a ghost?' The teller looked puzzled for a moment, then replied calmly, ‘We don’t accept supernatural deposits here.’ The regular nodded and said, ‘I’ll just take it back,’ before walking out whistling. A few minutes later, a delivery driver arrived with an actual deposit—of cheques.

2. A delivery driver pulled up to the NatWest branch one afternoon, frowning as he noticed something odd on the ground. He got out of his truck, picked it up—only to realize it was an old coin collection. The coins turned out to be from a local school fundraiser, and soon the whole neighborhood came together to return them. The delivery driver became a hero for the day, and everyone had a good laugh over a simple mix-up. A regular customer even brought in some freshly baked cookies as a thank-you.

3. A neighbor stopped by the NatWest branch late afternoon, muttering something about ‘lost my keys again.’ The teller smiled knowingly and replied, ‘It’s not your first time today, I see.’ The neighbor grinned sheepishly, fishing around in his pockets for the fifth time that day. 'At least you’re consistent,' the teller chuckled, handing over a spare key. As he left, another customer—a delivery driver—muttered under his breath, ‘I thought I saw him here last week…’

4. It was an ordinary Tuesday morning when a young man rushed into NatWest, breathless and wide-eyed. He approached the counter and whispered something so softly that only the teller could hear: 'I just saw a pig flying over the park.' The teller blinked twice, then smiled and replied, 'Well, sir, if you see it again, maybe bring some bread?' A few minutes later, another customer—a delivery driver—walked up to the same teller and asked nervously, ‘Did you see that pig too?’ The teller laughed and said, ‘No, but I’d believe anything after your story about talking penguins!’
