Lloyd opened his first coffee shop on Tower Street. However, when his shipping and insurance business grew larger, Lloyd has to move his business to Lombard Street in 1691. His business continued on Lombard Street until his death in 1713, and until his business evolved as a formal organization.
As Lloyd’s businesses grew in leaps and bounds, he would not be able to see Lloyd’s of London move from a coffee shop business to one entirely dedicated to maritime insurance. By 1900, Lloyd’s of London provides all types of insurance services, especially those that pertain to maritime interests.
