Scrooge's Counting House - TOP 50 THINGS TO DO IN LONDON - London Guides

In this London guide Joolz Guides tells you about the birth of the stock exchange and insurance industry, and also visits where Ebeneezer Scrooge worked in A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens.
Between Cornhill and Lombard street in the city of London is where numerous coffee houses and coffee shops sprang up, frequented by bankers and insurance brokers. In fact, the first exchange of marketable stocks happened in Change Alley.
See also the Old Jamaica Inn, the oldest surviving coffee house in London.

So where is that square and do you do walking tours based on a Christmas Carol?

That's so cool that you let people wear your hat and umbrella, when I come to London next year and book your tour I want a picture with it on, LOL, luv the vids man, I've kinda been binge watching, absolutely fascinating stuff.

Ok I’m going to need to challenge something. I thought the oldest surviving coffee house was the one in Acton. Old Jamaica inn has a better name and vibe but where have I got my story from?

Shouldn’t gentlemen remove their hat when entering a building?
