Bank Opening Times

Does anyone know what time the banks are open on Monday around the British Embassy area. I need to get a cashiers cheque to apply for a visa for my wife. The Embassy drop box facility is open at 8am to 9am and i was hoping that i could get the cheque during this time?

They were on a cost saving requirement not to open before 0930 for a long time but believe that has been changed. But don't believe any open before 0900.

Thanks for the info Lop.
