#TheRoyalExchange with its grand #Neoclassical pediment & stone columns, played a key role in the history of London’s #HistoricBanks. Built in the 16th CE as a centre for merchant trade, it was rebuilt in 1844 after 2 fires. A testament to the #CityofLondon’s rise as a global hub, the #StockExchange has now gone, but it still whispers of historic times & fortunes, made & lost.
