Twelve London high street banks are set to close this year.

Lloyds and Halifax have announced 40 bank branch closures across the UK in between April and June.

These include branches in Crouch End, Purley, Norbury, Marylebone, Harrow and Golders Green.

Lloyds Banking Group, which owns both high street banks, said the branches to be closed have seen the number of visits drop by about 60% on average in the last five years.

A spokesman said: “Branches play an important part in our strategy but we need to have them in the right places, where they are well-used.

“We’ll continue to invest in branches that are being used regularly, alongside our online, mobile app and telephone services.”

Below is the full list of Halifax and Lloyds branches set to close in the coming months.
