UK Bank Accounts for IBD professionals - Recommendations

Hi,

I am starting a FT job in IBD in London next January. Given that I've been previously working here as an off-cycle intern, I have only been using online banks (Revolut and Monzo) for my current and savings accounts.

Now that I'm about to settle in the UK for good, I'd like to set up a bank account with one of the High Street banks (HSBC, Barclays, Natwest, etc.) as I'd rather store most of my savings with an institution with retail branches/customer services. 

Happy to hear from other professionals' recommendations on decent UK packaged bank accounts

Cheers,

A.
