Lloyd's
London insurance exchange
Lloyd's is the London insurance market where underwriters organize to provide coverage for unusual or high-value risks—ships, aircraft, satellites, celebrity body parts.
Named after the 17th-century coffeehouse where maritime insurers gathered, Lloyd's operates as a marketplace where syndicates of underwriters accept portions of risk.
The policy was placed at Lloyd's.
