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.
Edward Lloyd (c. 1648–15 February 1713) ran the Lloyd's Coffee House in Lombard Street in the City of London which became a meeting place for merchants and shipowners. From the habit of their members to meet there, Lloyd's Coffee House spawned Lloyd's of London, Lloyd's Register, and Lloyd's List, but not Lloyds Bank.
