Bank of England closes its doors
Written by Mark Pack on 21st September 2008 – 6:23 pmA sign of the financial crisis times: over the weekend, I took advantage of Open House London to visit various properties that are normally closed to the public (including the modern house on my street - hello neighours!). Chatting to a friend who also visited various properties, I discovered that the Bank of England had also been due to open its doors to the public over the weekend, but pulled out at the last minute from opening on Saturday because they had to have so many staff in working over the weekend.

Par for the course at the Bank of England in September-October. That is when finacial times get interesting: viz. LibDem Conference financial noises off in so many years. Your friend did not miss much.

I was there on the Sunday and there was a queue of people waiting with tour guides etc, so it seemed very much open to me.
I didn’t bother to wait though and so went to a couple of the liveries instead.

Interesting. My comment was about Saturday, so I’ve edited the post to make that clearer.
