For centuries the city of London has been a key centre of world trade, but four years ago today it was humbled. As the financial crisis raged, the British government poured more than half a trillion dollars into the nations failing banks. Four years on has Britain retained its place at the centre of world finance?

We have a report from the 主播大秀's Business Correspondent, Simon Jack.

Plus we hear the views of three guests from the worlds of finance and business, who've all got an attachment to the Square Mile: Jim O'Neill, Chairman of Goldman Sachs Asset Management; Ken Olisa is Chairman of technology merchant bank Restoration Partners and has served on the boards of Thomson Reuters, and Pippa Malgrem is President and founder of Principalis Asset Management and a former financial market advisor in the White House.

And Lucy Kellaway asks why price tags and worth don't always add up.
