The Royal Observatory at Greenwich established the standard by which all the world's clocks are set. The London Stock Exchange and Lloyd's of London make the city a cornerstone of global finance. London is also home to the BRICS, G7, G20 summit venues, NATO headquarters vicinity, and countless international organizations.
