Standing in the heart of the City, and at the centre of the UK’s financial system, is the impressive Bank of England, sometimes known as the ‘Old Lady’ of Threadneedle Street.
The museum tells the story of the Bank from its foundation in 1694 to its role today as the regulator of interest rates and issuer of banknotes. Historical displays include the Bank’s own collections of books, documents, silver, prints, paintings, banknotes, coins and photographs.
