Power and Scandals in the City
Discover the origins of the East India Trading Company and London's port history– where once forests of ship masts stretched across the river. As you walk Leadenhall Street, hear the tale of the Lloyd's Names scandal of the 1990's and allegations – left unproven—of 'recruit to dilute' syndicate liability.
Entering Change Alley, your guide will paint for you the portrait of the street as it stood 300 years ago - a crowded alley, filled with traders, rumors, and wild financial speculation as the South Sea frenzy reached its height. Walking the short distance to Cheapside and the former site of the Mercer's Hall, your guide will describe the frantic meeting of South Sea company creditors that took place here in 1720, before exploring the Bubble's bitter denouement.
Duration: 2.5 hours
From corruption and espionage to idealists and authors, Holborn has a tale for the curious listener.
Outside the main entrance of the Threadneedles Hotel, 5 Threadneedles Street, London, United Kingdom
