Savings for Non-Uk Residence

I am looking for advice please. As a UK citizen, no longer living in the UK, but will be coming back within the next two years. Is it possible to have some sort of savings account, without having a UK address? I do still have banks accounts. .
Many thanks :)

    All comments regarding non-UK residents on here have been that it is most unlikely that they will be able to open any UK bank accounts. You could investigate offshore accounts provided by UK household names - Natwest, Lloyds, Nationwide. Or just use the accounts you already have.

    The best bet is to open savings acts before you leave, maintain a UK postal address such as your parents house for while you are gone, and to have a current acct or 2 with good internet banks.

    AS a non resident, your best bet now might be with the bank you are currently with, to open a linked acct.
