Londonist have a post on this with some photos of the momentous event.

2023: The building was given Grade II listing. There we learn that in 2017, to celebrate the 50 year anniversary a new plaque was installed and one of the ATMs was engoldened.  We need to revisit.

Designed by William Gillbee (or Gilbee) Scott (1857-1930) for the London and Provincial Bank, 1897.
