Can I open a HK dollar account at HSBC?

Silly question but it might be quicker than me asking tomorrow. Can I open a Hong Kong Dollar account at HSBC in the UK?

It looks like currency accounts are only available through HSBC Offshore. A brief search didn't reveal what currencies are available, but did find that you need a minimum of £25K to open the account.

Is there a reason for this?
We might be able to help with cheaper alternatives.

If you've had an account with HSBC anywhere in the world for more than 6 months, they'll remotely open a HKD account for you in Hong Kong, which would be much more useful than a UK-based HKD account.

Yes I do have a reason for this.

Thank you for the answers, you've answered my question!
