View of Leadenhall Street
Description
Leadenhall Street, City of London, looking east. Two businessmen can be seen in the foreground of a busy street, which is named after the market close by. A black taxi passes the facade of Edwin Cooper's old Lloyd's Building, built in 1928, which is on the right-hand side. The striking triumphal arch of this building is topped by a classical pediment. The Royal Mail building to the left of the arch was demolished and replaced by the new Lloyd's Building built by the Richard Rogers Partnership in 1986. On the near-right, at 7-10 Leadenhall Street, is the Rafidain Bank, an Iraqi bank which used to be the largest and richest Arabic bank in the world up to the time of the First Gulf War. It stayed at this address from 1952 until 2008.
