In the spirit of WSJ Sunday's focus on the financial, here are five tourist sites important in the history of capitalism.
The City: At the heart of London's financial district is the Bank of England, the empire's famed central bank, founded in 1694. Guided tours are available some weekends in summer and fall. Check out the current home of Lloyd's of London, located on Lime Street. Mixing God with mammon, don't miss Sir Christopher Wren's nearby masterpiece, St. Paul's Cathedral. See original story here.
