Barclays on St George's Street is shut for a refurbishment until Monday 16 November. Its staff are in Ashford; the nearest cash is a few doors along.

Barclays’ Canterbury branch at 9 St George’s Street is closed for a refurbishment and will reopen on Monday 16 November. The bank says so on its own branch page for Canterbury: “This branch is temporarily closed for refurbishment. This branch will re-open on Monday 16 November.”

The page does not say when the work started.

Where to go until it reopens

Barclays sends customers who need to see someone to its Ashford branch at 66 High Street, TN24 8TL, where it says its colleagues are available Monday to Friday from 9.30am to 4.30pm and on Saturday from 9.30am to 1pm.

For cash in Canterbury itself, the bank names two places, both on the same street:

What you need Where Barclays sends you
A counter (paying in, taking out) Post Office, 19 St George’s Street, CT1 2LB
A free cash machine Metro Bank, 2 St George’s Street, CT1 2SR

What it means for you

  • Everyday cash: the Post Office and the Metro Bank cash machine are a short walk from the Barclays branch, so most people will not need to travel.
  • Appointments that need a person: Ashford is the only staffed alternative Barclays names. If it can wait until then, the Canterbury branch is back on 16 November.
  • Saturdays after it reopens: Barclays says the Canterbury branch runs a self-service counter only on Saturdays, without “large cash and coin transactions” or temporary debit cards.
