REPORTAGE - Einblick in die 'Bank of England'
Liliana, on of the Parlours Stewards delivers tea to the Governors office. The Parlours are staffed by butlers wearing pink suit jackets, maintaining the traditions of the 321-year-old Bank. The butlers greet visitors and deliver beverages (the current governorÕs choice is often green tea). 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'
Victoria Cleland, Chief Cashier in the cash vaults. 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.
