The Bank of England is located on Threadneedle Street and is truly the heart of the financial sector in the UK with a worldwide reach. The bank itself is often called ‘the old lady of Threadneedle Street’ and has been at its current location since 1734. The London Stock Exchange was also situated on Threadneedle Street until 2004 when it relocated to Paternoster Square.
As you might expect their is a fantastic array of shops and eateries in this area, and many of the magnificent buildings that were former banks are now very popular pubs and restaurants such as the Counting House.

The Royal Exchange was officially opened by Queen Elizabeth I who awarded the building its Royal title, on 23 January 1571. Gresham’s original building was destroyed in the Great Fire of London in 1666. A second exchange was built on the site, designed by Edward Jerman, which opened in 1669, and which was also destroyed by fire in January 1838. The third Royal Exchange building still stands on the site and adheres to the original layout – consisting of a four-sided structure surrounding a central courtyard where merchants and tradesmen could do business.
The Royal Exchange is a great place to take clients for a relaxing coffee. If you have enough time in the day they have a wide selection of shops including Tiffany & CO, Hermes, Pretty Ballerina and Watches of Switzerland.
