Barclays Bank building in West Hampstead

• I USED this branch of Barclays bank in West Hampstead for many years, (So there’s to be no bank in boomsville, April 1).

The black and white photo (above) is of the first branch, opened at the corner with Lymington Road. The exterior still survives with few changes and the building is now occupied by Dutch & Dutch.
