Bank Of England Museum

The museum is housed in the interiors of the Bank of England. Set in the very heart of London, it reflects the history of the Bank, formerly called the Old Lady, from its establishment by the Royal Charter in 1694 to its current role as the British central bank. The local exhibits include ancient weapons used to defend the bank against robbers, early writing equipment, old coins, banknotes and photographs.

When the Bank was rebuilt between the years 1925 and 1939,a few archaeological remains , turned up including four Roman gold bars. Inside there are numerous audio visual displays , which tend to explain the Bank's present day importance in the British economy.
