Opening an english bank account
In england, opening a bank account isn't so easy! And if you will stay there just a few months, I hope you are lucky!
I succeeded by trying all day long. Finally, I opened an "International Student Account" at HSBC (Russel Square Branch) by filling a form you can find on Internet, then after receiving some papers, I went to this branch and opened easily a bank account with the UCL letter gave to you during the "first day in England meeting".
