Capel Court. This term signifies the speculative centre in London as Wall Street signifies the
speculative centre in New York.  The Capel court entrance to the London Stock Exchange looks
out upon the east front of the Bank of England on Bartholomew lane, but the other entrances, on
Throgmorton street and Old Broad street, are more thronged.  The name Capel Court was given
to the London financial centre from the fact that the entrance to the first building erected (1801)
for use as a stock exchange was from Capel court.
