It was opened by Queen Elizabeth I in 1571, but the original building was destroyed by the Fire of London in A second building, opened in 1669, was again destroyed by fire, this time in The Royal Exchange building you see today was designed by William Tite and opened by Queen Victoria in In 2001, this Grade I listed building was extensively remodelled to accommodate a collection of the world s finest luxury brands, shops and restaurants. The iconic Royal Exchange has a real wow factor when it comes to weddings and civil ceremonies, the REX Events team come with years of experience in event planning, offering a bespoke service and impeccable attention to detail.
