In the wars

On 2 July 2008, Lloyd's commemorated the members of Lloyd's who lost their lives in the First and Second World Wars with the unveiling of a two new War Memorials. The unveiling took place outside the original Lloyd's 1928 frontage on Leadenhall Street at 11am.

The War Memorials are a tribute, not only to those brave men who lost their lives, but also to every man and woman who contributed to the protection of Lloyd's, and the surrounding areas, during both wars.
