A place in London
Lombard Street
Where the story puts it, as near as can be told.

Lombard StreetLombard Street, City of LondonThe street of the banks between the Bank and Gracechurch Street, where The Stockbroker's Clerk puts Mawson & Williams, "about the richest house in London". The firm is fictional.
At last I saw a vacancy at Mawson & Williams', the great stockbroking firm in Lombard Street. I daresay E.C. is not much in your line, but I can tell you that this is about the richest house in London.
Visiting today
Still a street of banks, with old hanging signs above the pavement. Quiet at weekends. Nearest station: Bank.
