"When fire consumed the City in September 1666, it destroyed two buildings which, above all others, had embodied its secular
and religious nerve centers, the Royal Exchange and St Paul’s Cathedral. The rebuilding of these two proud edifices was to be the cause
of much debate between the City and the Crown. [...] Time was the critical factor, and the renaissance of the Royal Exchange was crucial
as the supreme symbol to present to the world that, for the City of London, it was ‘business as usual’. The Exchange was rebuilt in two
years, while other buildings, vital for the City’s prosperity and safety, were not replaced with the same sense of urgency.”
