OPINION - The London Stock Exchange is an embarrassment — here's what needs to be done

I suppose it’s fair enough that London should rank behind the cities of Spain, Turkey and Sweden at — let’s say — the quality of national cuisine. We do have world-class restaurants — and London’s high-end dining scene is only getting better — but let’s face it, the capital is unlikely to ever become globally renowned for its own native fare. With the possible exception of Sweden in winter, I’d also be perfectly relaxed if we are generally outdone by those countries in hours of sunlight, the UV index, sunglasses sales per capita and other such metrics.
