Until 2020 most business written at Lloyd’s was conducted face-to-face in the world famous Underwriting Room at our London Lime Street headquarters. Since the global pandemic Lloyd’s has rapidly adapted to the challenge of remote and hybrid working, accelerating the adoption of digital collaboration.
Brokers place clients’ risk with Lloyd’s specialist underwriters who evaluate, price and accept the risks. On any day, ‘The Room’ welcomes more than 5,000 people, sees more than £100m in premiums come into the market and more than £82.1m is paid out in claims – more than £57,031 in claims per minute.

Much of the capital available at Lloyd’s is provided on a ‘subscription’ basis; Lloyd’s underwriters join together as syndicates and those syndicates then join together to underwrite risks and programmes. Collectively, Lloyd’s syndicates insure risks totalling +£35bn in insurance premiums each year.
Collaboration, combined with the choice, flexibility and financial certainty of the market means Lloyd’s underwriters can anticipate and respond to new and emerging risks, creating the specialist products and policies our interconnected world demands.
