London Stock Exchange

The City of London, England, United Kingdom, is home to the London Stock Exchange (LSE), a stock market. In November 2021, the total market capitalization of all listed companies on the London Stock Exchange was £3.9 trillion. Its current location in London's City, near St. Paul's Cathedral, is at 1 Paternoster Square. It has been listed on the London Stock Exchange (LSE) since 2007 and is now a subsidiary of the London Stock Exchange Group (LSEG, LSE: LSEG).

From 2003 (when records began) until the fall of 2022, when the Paris exchange was momentarily larger, the LSE was the most valuable stock exchange in Europe. However, the LSE regained its position as Europe's largest stock market 10 days later. About 12% of UK residents reported having investments in stocks and shares in 2020, according to data compiled by the Office for National Statistics. In 2020, the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) found that just about 15% of UK adults had stock or share portfolios.

The market capitalization of the London Stock Exchange is $54.26 billion as of April 2023. Based on its current market capitalization, the London Stock Exchange is the 298th most valuable corporation in the world. Recent financial filings with the London Stock Exchange reveal TTM revenues of $1.94 billion for the corporation. The company's revenue in 2021 was $9.05 billion, significantly higher than the $3.32 billion it made in 2020.
