Worth getting off for

Visit the Bank of England Museum, then walk past the Royal Exchange towards Leadenhall Market.

Find the tightly enclosed passages around the George and Vulture off Lombard Street.

Leadenhall Market is a practical place to compare lunch menus under a striking covered roof.

The Crosse Keys on Gracechurch Street is a pub in a former banking hall.

Station → Bank of England Museum → Royal Exchange → Leadenhall Market. Allow two hours with a museum visit.

The Bank of England Museum is free; check opening days before setting out.

Use the museum for a focused family visit about money rather than a long tour of office streets.
