A late 19th century view of the Bank of England, the central bank of the United Kingdom, established in 1694 to act as the English Government's banker, and still one of the bankers for the Government of the United Kingdom, it is the world's eighth-oldest bank. The Bank moved to its current location in Threadneedle Street in 1734, acquired neighbouring land to create the site necessary for erecting the Bank's original home at this location, under the direction of its chief architect Sir John Sloane, between 1790 and 1827.
