Stock Exchange Tower

Stock Exchange Tower

The Stock Exchange Tower is a high-rise building located in the City of London at 125 Old Broad Street. Standing at convert|103|m|ft|0 tall, with 26 floors, the tower was completed in 1970. It served as the headquarters and offices for the London Stock Exchange until its departure for new premises in 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 1986 deregulation of the London Stock Exchange known as "Big Bang".

On 20 July 1990, the Provisional Irish Republican Army exploded a bomb inside the tower, causing its evacuation. The tower was also evacuated on September 11 2001 after the attacks on the World Trade Center, The Pentagon and Pennsylvannia

The building is currently undergoing a major renovation which will see its façade reclad in glass and steel, and thousands of square metres more office space created.
