LSE, or London Stock Exchange
The London Stock Exchange, or LSE, is the largest stock exchange in the UK and Europe. One of the world’s oldest stock exchanges, it was founded in London in 1895. In 1973 it merged with several provincial exchanges, including the Edinburgh exchange, to form the LSE. More than 1,300 companies from 60 different countries list on the LSE with a combined market cap of around US$4.861 trillion. These include Toyota (Japan), General Electric (US), and Rio Tinto (Australia). The FTSE 100 Share Index, or ‘Footsie’, includes 100 top blue chip stocks listed on the LSE, including Tesco, Vodafone, Barclays, BP and Rolls Royce.
