  • Businessmen walk past the pillars of the Bank of England through high-intensity reflected light from a nearby plate glass on Threadneedle Street in the City of London<br />
Threadneedle Street is famous as the site of the Bank of England; the bank itself is sometimes known as 'the Old Lady of Threadneedle Street' and has been based at its current location since 1734. The etymology of the name Threadneedle Street is possibly from the Anglo-Saxon thread, meaning "to prosper". Other theories, however, include that it originated as Three Needle Street (first attested in 1598), perhaps from a signboard portraying three needles, or from the three needles on the arms of needle-makers who had premises on the street. The threads and needles used by the members of the Worshipful Company of Merchant Taylors

  • As lunchtime City workers pass-by on the street corner we see the spire of Royal Exchange - the tall structure in the gap between modern offices on Threadneedle Street in the heart of the capital's financial district known as The Square Mile. The Royal Exchange in London was founded in the 16th century by the merchant Thomas Gresham to act as a centre of commerce for the City of London. Its design was inspired by a bourse Gresham had seen in Antwerp, and was Britain's first specialist commercial building. It has twice been destroyed by fire and subsequently rebuilt. The present building was designed by William Tite in the 1840s. The site was notably occupied by the Lloyd's insurance market for nearly 150 years. Today the Royal Exchange contains offices, luxury shops and restaurants.
