About the Venue
Threadneedles Hotel was formerly head offices of the London, City and Midland Bank headquarters from the 1880s. The original building, designed by W & A Moseley was built in 1856 and was transformed into Threadneedles Hotel in 2002. The 130,000 sq. ft. listed building is just minutes away from the Bank of England and the Royal Exchange; it is the City’s oldest surviving premises for a joint-stock bank. The OpRisk 360 will be hosted in The Dome lounge which is the beating heart of Threadneedles. Located in the former banking hall, its iconic glass dome marks the centrepiece of the hotel.
