This is a beautiful public space with stunning backdrops(esp. of the Royal Exchange itself) of the locality. There are in fact two public spaces. This one pictured below via the link in the front of the Royal Exchange and above Bank underground station. There are two entrances to the tube amongst the steps, statues, benchs, evening stand sellers and flower beds. I have sat here before and watched the world go by, I have danced here with flashmob mobileclubbing and I have looked at this little gorgeous space from uptop a bus. It used to be the backdrop for London music news broadcast daily on MTV Worldwide, so some international visitors will have seen this place before. There is also a little space with more benches at the back of the Royal exchange. This has a statue of Reuters and commemorates the birth of the newswire. Here is a picture of the space: .8782|20|256&be=12454252|East&bd=useful_information&loc=GB:51.51405:-0.8669:17|threadneedle%20street|Threadneedle%20Street,%20London,%20England,%20EC2R%208
