Summary
COI synopsis: Michael Smee takes you behind the scenes of The City of London - that historic square mile that is the throbbing nerve centre of London’s metropolis. The city of London - for centuries the world’s financial brain - the city of London - where a 17th century coffee shop has grown into the world’s leading insurance corporation - where modern technology jostles ancient pageantry - where billions of dollars change hands across a street and across the world. This issue includes an interview with the Lord Mayor of London, Sir Gilbert Inglefied, a merchant banker, David Montague and a discount broker, Mr Kleinwort.
