As the name might suggest, this pub was once a bank, but don't imagine a transformed local branch of HSBC: this is a grand, towering old building with ornate railings and colossal mirrors. The place is clearly geared up to serve a moneyed clientele; while it's essentially a Fuller's pub - London Pride and Discovery as standard - there are such strange offerings as a 'pie tasting plate' for an eye-watering £17 and racks of vintage wines. While the booze is high quality and the decor initially impressive, the atrium-style layout of the building gives you the nagging feeling that you're drinking in an airport departure lounge.

Impressive building but very poor level of service - I would think twice about using the function rooms, where bar staff seem poorly trained with little understanding of or interest in customer service. No draught beer available, or staff seemed unable or unwilling to change a barrel. Only table sized bottles of mineral water, and no basics like soda water for Vodka or Whisky. Inadequate staffing with extremely long wait for service (15 minutes or longer). Altogether very poor.
