2 7 LOTHBURY EC2 Gothic splendour through the ages 1868 While context and convention still favour the classical, noted architect George Somers Clarke ( ) has a vision for 7 Lothbury. The General Credit and Discount Company s new head office soon becomes the talk of The City The building is sold to brokers and merchants Speyer Brothers and the upper floors are sublet to other companies Lothbury becomes the new office of the National Bank of Australasia who lease the upper floors to separate tenants including The Sea Insurance Co Stock brokers Laurie Milbank & Co continue to occupy the upper floors while the lower floors are altered to accommodate a private dining club for the Overseas Bankers Club. It soon becomes a favourite watering hole for senior bankers from the foreign exchange market With the unprecedented agreement of the planning authorities, work begins to adapt the layout for luxury modern apartments, breathing new life into the building.

3 WELCOME Introducing 7 Lothbury Dominating the corner of Lothbury and Tokenhouse Yard and standing proud opposite the Bank of England, 7 Lothbury is a most unusual building, unique within The City s central district.
