Publisher Description

You know the City of London is the capital of international finance. But have you visited Smithfield meat market? 

You know the City is home to bankers - from the Governor of the Bank of England to the men and women working in the clearing houses and specialist firms providing private and merchant services to those working for the hundreds of foreign banks crowded into the Square Mile. But did you know one of those banks operates from the site where Rowland Hill, the social reformer, invented the penny postage stamp?
