I live in the U.S but would like to open a bank account in the U.K.
Has anyone done this?

Not sure why you want to do this but I think you are gonna have trouble - most banks will require two forms of ID ie passport/drivers licence and some form of address verification ie recently paid utility bill. All to do with stopping money laundering apparently.

I have attached links for some of the major banks - good luck
