Bank of England Museum, housed within the impressive walls of the Bank of England, this fascinating museum takes you through the history of the bank since its foundation in 1694 to its role today as the nation’s central bank.

The Bank Of England Museum can be found in Bartholomew Lane, off Threadneedle Street. I popped in for a visit as I was in the area, Here is the entrance. The museum is very small and you can get around it in less than an hour.

This is a ship design and it appeared to meant to be for children – teaching about inflation and balancing the books – balancing the ship – a clever idea !

The exhibition is fascinating. I enjoyed seeing all the old money and some of it I remember. The museum is open to the general public, free of charge, on weekdays and worth a visit if you are in the area !
