The assessment centre took place in one RBS office within London. It was actually a 4-step interviewing process. The first step was a one on one interview which was basically a competency-based interview on your past achievements and your motivations for joining RBS. The second step was a presentation that I had to put together after reading a set of documents about the current economic crisis in Asia - it was then supposed to end with a small interview but it didn't... The third step was a regular numerical test for which we could use a calculator. It then ended with a group work - I was with 5 other applicants and each of us had to promote a sports event. The whole group had to decide eventually to pick up 2 projects out of the six as the most outstanding ones. We were wached over by HR people and business people.
