Known as the father of English banking, wealthy merchant Sir Thomas Gresham establishes The Royal Exchange as London's first purpose-built centre for trading stocks. It is modelled on the Bourse in Antwerp, the world's oldest financial exchange, where Gresham had been based as a royal agent.

In 1571 The Royal Exchange is officially opened by Queen Elizabeth I, who awards it a royal title and a license to sell alcohol.
