About this Event
Walking tours
The free tour will take you outside the Bank’s first premises in Mercer’s Hall on Cheapside and Grocer’s Hall on Princes Street. Then marvel at the classical façade as you are guided around the outside of the Bank’s current building, which has changed many times over the years.
Hear about the different architects who helped create one of the most iconic buildings in the City of London, including Sir John Soane who designed the curtain wall surrounding the 3.25 acre site today.
Continue the tour inside the Bank of England Museum where you can see the reconstruction of the old Stock Office – a late 1700s banking hall designed by Soane. Learn how the classical style masks the security features which protect the Bank.
After the tour, feel free to wander inside the museum to find out more about the history of the Bank and its work today.
