Lime Street, London

[1] It is perhaps best known as the current home of the world's largest insurance market, Lloyd's of London, since its newest building was opened on the street in 1986.

A 35-storey building, The Scalpel, stands at 52-54 Lime Street as the European headquarters of global insurer W. R. Berkley.

Nearby is the Norman Foster-designed and gherkin-shaped skyscraper 30 St Mary Axe, and the Leadenhall Building.

According to renowned Dickens scholar, M.Morgan Charles Dickens placed the residence of Ebenezer Scrooge in a now-demolished house on the site of the current Lloyd's building at the corner of Lime and Leadenhall Streets, most likely 28 Lime Street.

Current residents have witnessed ghostly apparitions and felt 'cold chills', which they have attributed to paranormal activity.
