A proper building to convey all the attributes you would want in a financial institution: stability, history, and monolithic presence. All of that was achieved in a building that is far from original. The first exchange on this patch of ground burned down in the Great Fire of 1666. Its replacement burned in 1838. The current building features a line of Corinthian columns, behind which reside statues of Queen Elizabeth, Queen Victoria, and Charles II. The London Stock Exchange no longer conducts its trading here. In 1972 it moved to a modern office building. But money still changes hands. Now it has been converted into a shopping mall.

Rating: Three stars. Sir William was my great, great, grat grandfather. It is kinda cool to see a building designed by him. If there is a cornerstone it would be really neat to see that in a picture too. :)

Rating: One star. I have to like this building as Sir William was my great, great, grandfather. Contrary to popular belief, William did have a son (Henry, my great grandfather)
