About The Royal Exchange, London

The Royal Exchange was founded by Sit John Gresham in the 16th century to act as a center of trade for The City of London. It sits on a triangle of land in between Cornhill and Threadneedle street. This is not the original building; in fact, it has been destroyed by fire twice.

The current incarnation was designed by Sir William Tite with the interior designed by Edward I’Anson in 1837, interestingly he used concrete, a new use of an old material, not really used since classical times. The structure out front is Arthur Wellesley The Duke of Wellington. It was placed there in 1844 and is made from the captured bronze cannon from Wellingtons continental campaigns.
