Lloyd’s has announced that its Underwriting Room and Galleries 1 and 2 will reopen on 18th September following their closure in July for refurbishment. Events in the Old Library will also recommence from 18th September while tours of the building will begin again the following week.

Bruce Carnegie-Brown, chairman of Lloyd's, said: “Contrary to what some might believe, and to current debates around technology: these changes will not see old giving way to new – nor humans giving way to robots in some dystopian digital future.

“Instead, it’s a handshake between the time-tested models of the past and the brave possibilities of the future. A clearer definition of where people, places, technology and data can add value to make better use of our collective time, energy and resources.”
