Lloyds of London

Reflecting on the past two weeks, my favorite part of the trip had to be the visit to Lloyds of London. The structure of the building was absolutely amazing. All of the pipes and elevators were located outside of the building and the modern façade truly stood out against the older building.  After going inside the building, we were able to ride the elevator which was technically outside. The glass walls gave an amazing view of the city and we were able to see for miles. Next, we went into the trading room where we saw hundreds of people working. It was really a cool site and there was so much energy in the room. We learned all about the history of Lloyds and even got to see the insurance claim for when the Titanic sunk.  After our tour we all walked around the financial district together, blending in quite nicely as we were wearing our business formal. This day was truly one to remember and absolutely one of the highlights of my trip.
