London’s financial services executives could be forgiven for feeling anxious. The terror attacks at London Bridge and Westminster in the last few months have felt particularly close to home, with at least two City workers among the victims.

This threat is arguably even more significant than the IRA’s bombing campaign in the early nineties. Between 1990 and 1996, the IRA targeted the financial industry by bombing 30 St Mary Axe, Bishopsgate, Wormwood Street, the London Stock Exchange and Canary Wharf. Mainline train stations were also targeted with Paddington, Victoria, Clapham Junction, Bank, Monument and Waterloo all affected.
