Events in London – Thursday 10 January

Need some inspiration for 10th January? The old Royal Exchange burnt down to the ground on this day in 1838. It was then rebuilt and reopened by Queen Victoria in 1844. It now stands opposite the Bank of England and Mansion House and is one of the best-looking buildings in the City.
