About
Discover the remarkable history of The Royal Exchange in the City of London, home to luxury brands, cafes and restaurants.
The Royal Exchange was founded in 1566 as London’s first purpose-built centre for trading stocks and was formally opened by Queen Elizabeth I in 1571. Today, this Grade I-listed building is a luxury shopping and dining destination.
Splash the cash at high-end shops including Tiffany & Co, Montblanc, Hermes and British brand, Aspinal of London.
Stop for a cocktail at Engel Bar where you can indulge in a spot of people-watching from a comfy seat overlooking the courtyard. Then head back downstairs, where Fortnum & Mason serves up contemporary dishes, including a classic afternoon tea.
