About the event
When: 20 and 21 September 2025
Step inside the Bank of England with tours of our central Parlours. Visit the heart of the economy as you admire a rare snapshot of 17th Century architecture and fascinating artworks through a maze of hidden offices.
What are Parlours?
The Parlours sit at the core of the Bank's iconic building, and are part of the last remenants of Taylor's 1760's carefully curated architecture. They are the central offices where The Governor and other important committees sit and discuss upcoming economic decisions. They are restricted in access even to Bank staff, and offer no access to the public... until now!
Find out more about where key economic decisions were made past and present, and the function and flair behind the offices that have seen centuries of leadership, changes in technology and a whole lot of wallpaper!
Don't miss this rare opportunity to gain access to a realm of history, icoinic architecture and responsibility in these limited-slot tours through the Parlours.
