If you have an O2 mobile phone (PAYG or contract) they provide a free one to their clients.
It is a misconception that you even need a bank account, as prepaid credit cards provide a perfect replacement.
If you insist on the necessity for a bank account then I would advise going to Barclays or the Co-Op. They have very high acceptance rates for bankruptees. (As long as they are not a creditor prior to your bankruptcy).
