| 词条 | London Stock Exchange |
| 释义 | London Stock Exchange British company a London marketplace (market) for securities (security). It lies in the vicinity of the Bank of England (England, Bank of) and the Royal Exchange, in the heart of the City of London (London, City of). The market was formed in 1773 by several stockbrokers who had been doing business informally in neighbourhood coffeehouses. In 1801 a group of members raised money for the construction of a building in Capel Court, Bartholomew Lane, and rules for the exchange were established soon afterward; the rules subsequently have been amended several times. In 1973 the exchange merged with several regional stock exchanges in Great Britain, and in 1986 its operations were reorganized and an automated price-quotation system introduced. The exchange became a public limited company, London Stock Exchange PLC, in 2001—the year of its bicentennial. |
