UK - London - 90s London Stock Exchange options trading floor

An aerial view of the 1980s options trading floor at the London Stock Exchange. We look down from a high vantagepoint on to the traders as they go about their business. Three years after the so-called Big Bang in 1986 , this location at the old Stock Exchange Tower became redundant with the advent of the Big Bang, which deregulated many of the Stock Exchange's activities as it enabled an increased use of computerised systems that allowed dealing rooms to take precedence over face to face trading. Thus, in 2004, the House moved to a brand new headquarters in Paternoster Square, close to St Paul's Cathedral.
