I had 2 mates who moved to london last year and they have told me the bank regs are now as strict as here, due to money laundering and various other tax evasive schemes.

To the best of my knowledge, no such service exists for the puroposes of a bank account.

Other than that, the experience of opening a bank account seems a rocky road in England- especially if you are not a resident or citizen- let alone not having any address. My friends resorted to dealing in cash mostly.

Some other peeps might know more about it perhaps post somehting on the "Abroad" board as we do have a few mems who are living and working in britain. hth.
