(LSE) formed in 1760 as a club at Jonathan's Coffee House by 150 brokers who were kicked out of the Royal Exchange for rowdiness. The Stock Exchange name was adopted in 1773 and it became a regulated exchange in 1801. Following deregulation in 1986-the Big Bang-the LSE introduced computerized trading via the SEAQ (Stock Exchange Automatic Quotation) and SEAQ International systems that display share price information in brokers' offices throughout the United Kingdom. The LSE became a public limited company in 2000 and transferred its role as the U.K. Listing Authority to the Financial Services Authority
