Looking at today's weather, how about the Rising Sun?I suppose Beckett's Bank on Park Row might count, seeing as it used to be a branch of Barclays.

I stand to be corrected but the railway has never been closer and it isn't even as close to the old Beeston Station which I suspect had been closed before the building that currently houses the whistlestop was built. I know not whether the current Whistlestop replaced an older incarnation.
