Some rules say converging verticals are a bad thing, but I say rules are meant to be broken :-)

 

Another shot of the Lloyds building with the Nat West Tower in the background. View On Black

 

Lloyd's is not a company but a market where lots of seperate insurance businesses (or syndicates) join together to take on huge insurance risks, with several syndicates often sharing the risk, such are the size of the figures involved. Unusual in these IT driven days much of the business is conducted face-to-face in the Underwriting Room.

 

The Lloyd’s building was designed by Richard Rogers. It took eight years to construct and is covered by 30,000 square metres of stainless steel cladding and 12,000 square metres of glass. Check out the virtual tour: www.lloyds.com/flash/Building-Virtual-Tour/index.html
