REPORTAGE - Einblick in die 'Bank of England'
The Boiler Room. The Bank of England, formally the Governor and Company of the Bank of England, is the central bank of the UK. It was established in 1694 to act as the banker for the English and now the UK Government. The Bank was privately owned until nationalisation in 1946. In 1998, it became an independent public organisation, wholly owned by the Treasury Solicitor on behalf of the government, with independence in setting monetary policy. The Bank has a monopoly on the issue of banknotes in England and Wales and regulates the issue of banknotes by commercial banks in Scotland and Northern Ireland. The Bank's Monetary Policy Committee has devolved responsibility for managing monetary policy. The Bank's headquarters have been in London's main financial district, the City of London, on Threadneedle Street, since 1734. It is sometimes known as The Old Lady of Threadneedle Street or The Old Lady, a name taken from the legend of Sarah Whitehead, whose ghost is said to haunt the Bank's garden. Mark Carney assumed the post of Governor of the Bank of England on 1 July 2013. He succeeded Mervyn King, who took over on 30 June 2003. He is the first non-British citizen to hold the post.

REPORTAGE - Einblick in die 'Bank of England'
The Vaults and sub-Vaults. In the three floors below ground, the atmosphere is somewhat different to the splendour and spaciousness of the Parlours. It is more like a nuclear bunker: the endless identical corridors, thick security doors, and the rumbling of passing tube trains make it faintly claustrophobic. Security is tight Ð this is where the gold and cash is kept. The Bank of England, formally the Governor and Company of the Bank of England, is the central bank of the UK.
