Aviva Business Description

Address 80 Fenchurch Street, London, GBR, EC3M 4AE

After the Great Fire of London, this mutual was formed to provide protection against fires. Hand in Hand was then acquired in 1905 by Commercial Union. Over the years, Hand in Hand insured London landmarks such as London Bridge, the British Museum, and Lambeth Palace.
