Hello from London! Today we went to Lloyd's of London and the Bank of England. In the Hamilton House, we were given a brief introduction of the Lloyd's of London and how it is a market for insurance between brokers and underwriters. When we went to go visit the location, we had to split up into 3 separate gorups due to security reasons. Lloyd's has a very unique design with the elevators and pipes on the outside of the building to create most space on the inside. We were given a tour that was very interesting about the process of insuring specialty items between brokers and underwriters at the boxes. It also included the original coffee shop where the signing of the insurance claims were made.
Since the group was split up into 3 different groups, the others either had an independent lunch or went to visit the Bank of England. The Bank England involved a quick quiz of finding information through the mesuem part of the bank which included the history of it, today's structure and the different forms of currency available. We had a very eventful and enjoyable morning! Cheers!
