Stock Exchange Tower:
The Stock Exchange Tower is a high-rise building in London, located at 125 Old Broad Street in the City
of London financial district. For over 30 years it was the site of the London Stock Exchange, until its relocation in 2004.

History of Stock Exchange Tower:
Standing at 100 metres (328 ft) tall with 26 floors, the tower was completed by Trollope & Colls in 1970 and opened by Queen Elizabeth II on 8 November 1972.
It served as the headquarters, offices and trading floor for the London Stock Exchange until its departure for new premises in nearby Paternoster Square in July 2004. Face-to-face trading was conducted on the trading floor of the exchange until it was abolished in favour of electronic trading in the October 1986 deregulation of the London Stock Exchange known as the 'Big Bang'.
On 20 July 1990 the Provisional IRA exploded a bomb inside the tower, causing its evacuation. The bomb destroyed the public viewing areas in the building which subsequently closed in 1992. It was also evacuated on 11 September 2001 after the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center.......Wikipedia >>
