Wikipedia gives us the quick following overview of the area: “ The Royal Exchange in London was founded in the 16th century by the merchant Sir Thomas Gresham on the suggestion of his factor Richard Clough to act as a centre of commerce for the City of London. The site was provided by the City of London Corporation and the Worshipful Company of Mercers, who still jointly own the freehold. The original foundation was ceremonially opened by Queen Elizabeth I who granted it its “royal” title. The current neoclassical building has a trapezoidal floor plan and is flanked by Cornhill and Threadneedle Street, which converge at Bank junction in the heart of the city. It lies in the Ward of Cornhill. “

Public houses of Royal Exchange
As Londoners, at Cozee we are deeply attached to our weekly attendance to our local pub. Why should you be different in the place where you are going to live? That is why we have been testing and reviewing all the pubs in Royal Exchange. As a matter of fact, we didn’t… But we would have loved to. Here is then the list of the greatest pubs of Royal Exchange
| Pub name Name | Address | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Crosse Keys | 7-12 Gracechurch Street City of London EC3V 0DR | A Grand Wetherspoon free house that opened in June 1999 in the former Hong Kong and Shanghai Bank. A larger than normal range of beers is served with up to 18 Guest Ales and Ciders displayed on a plasma screen. This large palatial Wetherspoon pub is Mecca for real ale drinkers, with the normal Wetherspoon’s Beer and Cider festivals also look out for their own special festivals. There are 18 handpumps around the bar, look at the screens above the bar showing: the pump number and beer available. This large pub is split into different sections: the large main entrance and slightly smaller area to the right, two smaller seated areas either side of the bar. There are three function rooms available. |
| Ship | 11 Talbot Court City of London EC3V 0BP | On the site of the Talbot which was destroyed in the Great Fire of London. The single bar is split into two by the staff entrance; both have a bank of hand pumps and fonts. Above are glass panels, above and to the rear are mirrored panels. The interior gives the feeling of a bygone era of a gin palace. Extensive selection of food on the menu. |
| Swan | Ship Tavern Passage City of London EC3V 1LY | Former Whitbread pub that became a Fuller’s pub in 1993. Larger bar upstairs that can be used as a function room. |
| Cock & Woolpack | 6 Finch Lane London EC3V 3NA | Behind the Royal Exchange in one of the City’s many age-old small alleyways, between Cornhill and Threadneedle Street, this inn was originally built in 1803 but now dates from the late-19th century and was once owned by Bass, owned by Shepherd Neame since 2002. There is one small long narrow bar on the ground floor, now entirely wood-panelled and sparkling with many mirrors. The toilets are downstairs. At lunchtime and early evening it can be filled to overflowing with local workers. It was just the Woolpack, and has been renamed in the last couple of decades. |
| Jamaica Wine House | St Michaels Alley – Cornhill London EC3V 9DS | Guest beer changes every six weeks. Two bars with real ale on the ground floor only. Old business centre for the Jamaica trade. The original building was burnt down in the Great Fire of London. The pub is part of a red brick and sandstone block rebuilt in 1885 to designs by architect Banister Fletcher (don’t fall for the ‘Built 1652’ notices!). Free House acquired by Shepherd Neame in April 2009. |
| Lamb Tavern | 10-12 Leadenhall Market London EC3V 1LR | There was a 14th century noble’s house here with (unusual for the time) a lead roof, hence Leadenhall. Rebuilt as a market after the fire in 1666. The wrought-iron market you see today was as rebuilt again in 1881, modelled on the Galleria Vittorio Emmanuelle in Milano. The present pub dates from 1780 and was rebuilt with the rest in 1881. Ex-Bass Charrington, then a free house, until Young’s bought it in 1985. Grade II* Listed building, like the rest of the market, in maroon and off-white with columns, gilt trims, frosted windows and the Corporation of London shield. Ceramic tiled mural by the entrance featuring Wren looking at the plans for the Monument. On four levels: the ground floor is quite small and standing-only; a small gallery added in the mid-1980s; a top floor for lunches; and a basement bar called Old Tom’s (with the same real ales but a slightly more eclectic range of lagers, e.g. Camden, Meantime, Urquell). The ground floor has dark wood panelling,! engraved glass, marble columns, wrought iron spiral staircase to gallery, standing room. On the top floor are lots of pictures including portraits of 19th century Young & Co directors. Old Tom’s bar in the basement, opened in 2011, is accessed from a separate door, with original cream & green glazed tiling (dating from when this was the toilets!). |
| New Moon | 88 Gracechurch Street London EC3V 0DN | Split level pub with Lounge/dining area downstairs. Now Greene King, ex-Whitbread via Laurel. Has seasonal beers. |
| Old Toms Bar | 10-12 Leadenhall Market London EC3V 1LR | Tiny bar under the Lamb Tavern and in the same management, in florid late Victorian Ledenhall Market. The name (see painted legend) is from a gander which escaped slaughter and became a familiar local figure. The brick vaults and utilitarian clean and green tiles lend credence to the belief that this may be the very place of slaughter before display of poultry in butchers shops above. Painted glass shows former use as a bar. Available for hire. |
| Pitcher & Piano | 28 Cornhill London EC3V 3ND | Once the home of the Scottish Widows. Now the only one of this chain left in central London. Features include high ceilings, wooden floorboards, a basement bar and a boardroom. |
