London Stock Exchange, Stock exchange in City of London, England
The London Stock Exchange operates from its headquarters in Paternoster Square, near St Paul's Cathedral, managing securities and derivatives trading across multiple markets.
The exchange traces its roots to 1698 when John Castaing began listing stock prices at Jonathan's Coffee House before its official establishment in 1801.
The Financial Times Stock Exchange 100 index represents the performance of the largest companies listed on the London Stock Exchange, influencing global investment decisions.
Trading hours run from 9:00 AM to 5:30 PM London time, with electronic systems processing thousands of transactions for stocks, bonds, and other financial instruments.
The 1986 deregulation known as Big Bang transformed the exchange by replacing floor trading with electronic systems and removing fixed commission structures.
