This paper examines the emergence of a distinctive London banking profession across the eighteenth century. While the business side of this important development has received much attention, this study will prioritize the social and cultural forces behind this process as a guide to wider metropolitan change. It will analyse a variety of exchanges between bankers and customers as the former sought both professional and individual advancement. Their experience can illuminate the broader interaction of the commercial and landed classes at a key stage of societal transition.
