A Rare look inside Bank of England's gold vaults - BBC

How much gold is kept in the Bank of England? Vaults hold around 400,000 bars of gold, worth over £200 billion.

 That makes the Bank of England the second largest keeper of gold in the world (the New York Federal Reserve tops the list)


The Bank of England’s gold vaults hold £194bn worth of gold bars.

 If you stacked them all on top of each other, they would be the same height as 46 Eiffel Towers. 

They hardly ever let anyone in to film, but the BBC’s Frank Gardner has been given access to the Bank of England’s gold vault.
