sir robert cecil
by the late 16th century, london increasingly became a major centre for banking, international trade and commerce. the royal exchange was founded in 1565 by sir thomas gresham as a centre of commerce for london's merchants, and gained royal patronage in 1571. although no longer used for its original purpose, its location at the corner of cornhill and threadneedle street continues to be the geographical centre of the city's core of banking and financial services, with the bank of england moving to its present site in 1734, opposite the royal exchange on threadneedle street. immediately to the south of cornhill, lombard street was the location from 1691 of lloyd's coffee house, which became the world-leading insurance market. london's insurance sector continues to be based in the area, particularly in lime street.
