Stock Exchange Tower
Encyclopedia : S : ST : STO : 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 328 feet 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 in 2003.
On July 20, 1990, the 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 Centre.
The building is currently undergoing a major renovation which will see its facade reclad in glass and steel.
