11-50-90 London Wimbledon Common

Wombles, tennis, and a branch of Martins Bank? It must be Wimbledon Common. Martins Bank opens for business in 1938 in this charming little building between two shops. A certain prestigious tennis tournament at the nearby All England Club provides an opportunity for the Bank to open a sub branch on Centre Court, which has to be one of the most prestigious settings for a branch of ANY bank!

In Service: 21 April 1938 until 19 May 1972
