The buildings were rebuilt, and the architectural scars have long since healed. The memory of what the IRA did to the City of London, and the terror it attempted to create among those who work in the UK’s financial capital, should not be forgotten any time soon, though.

In April 1992, three people died in the bombing that destroyed the Baltic Exchange and many more were injured. A year later, £350 million worth of damage was done when another bomb exploded in Bishopsgate. In the aftermath of that attack, a "ring of steel" was placed around the City in a bid to protect it against further bombings.
