The Royal Exchange

The Royal Exchange is a luxury destination in the heart of the City, offering boutique shopping and premium dining in one of London’s most historic buildings. The courtyard is a site to behold and definitely a destination worthy of grand occasions.

It was officially opened by HRH Queen Elizabeth I in 1571 and was the brainchild of renowned merchant Thomas Gresham. It soon became the center for the Capitals commerce, bringing together brokers and merchants. In 2001 an extensive redevelopment by architects Aukett Fitzroy Robinson transformed The Royal Exchange courtyard, reviving its trading legacy by giving it a new lease of life.
