Bank of England closes its doors

A sign of the financial crisis times: over the weekend, I took advantage of Open House London to visit various properties that are normally closed to the public (including the modern house on my street – hello neighbours!).

Chatting to a friend who also visited various properties, I discovered that the Bank of England had also been due to open its doors to the public over the weekend, but pulled out at the last minute from opening on Saturday because they had to have so many staff in working over the weekend.
