The common sense of coffee culture the London Stock Exchange evolved from cafes

In 1688, Edward Lloyd's opened for business on Tower Street Street on the banks of the Thames, and soon became a place for sailors, merchants, and shipowners to exchange business information. Lloyd pushed the boat along the river to provide a schedule for cargo ships to enter and leave the port, attracting more businessmen who buy and sell marine insurance to get together and trade. In 1691, the cafe ran out of space and moved to Lombardy Street (Lombard street), which became the birthplace of the insurance group and had already been awarded a "blue plaque" (blue plaque) by the British authorities to witness its ancient history. To this day, the uniformed receptionists at Lloyd's headquarters are still called "waiters" like the early cafes, highlighting the long history of coffee.

In addition, the London Stock Exchange evolved from cafes. In 1680, Jonathan Miles opened the Jonathan's CofFee-House on Exchange Street (Exchange Alley), provided information on the prices of various goods and competed with the Royal Exchange, which eventually became the London Stock Exchange today.
