England: Lloyd's Subscription Room, Royal Exchange, London, c. 1800.

Edward Lloyd, the founder of Lloyd's Coffee House, died in 1712. Subsequently the coffee house was moved to Pope's Head Alley, where it was called New Lloyd's Coffee House, but on September 14, 1784, it was removed to the northwest corner of the Royal Exchange, where it served as the offices of the underwriters in Lloyds maritime insurance, as well as continuing to serve coffee.
