Interviewed Jan 2012 in London, England (United Kingdom) (took 2 months)
They ask you technical questions. So make sure you understand things like transmission process for monetary policy...think through different channels by which monetary policy affects economy. Worth skimming over articles in their quarterly periodical. Read the Monetary policy meeting minutes.

Interviewed Oct 2010 (took 2 weeks)
Sat in a room in a circle - one small round table in the middle, interviewers (bank seniors) on sofas with CV and other notes in hand.
Was asked questions on why you want the job, why BoE etc, along with other competency based q's such as how I'd approach a difficult problem
Also discussion on prior work experience, what I enjoy from that, what I've learnt from doing the work
Does get to some fairly technical issues, ie how the bank interacts with the markets
Overall, very pleasant experience - interviewers not trying to catch you out
