Go Dutch at the Bank of England's Museum in Bartholomew Lane, EC2.

In fact it was William III's need for war finance that led to the establishment of the Bank although, of course, the idea had its opponents. A contemporary comment is recorded thus:- "Others said this project [the idea of a national bank] came from Holland, and therefore would not hear of it, since we had too many Dutch things already…". Nevertheless much of what we take for granted today - freedom of speech and of the Press, and parliamentary democracy - are the supremely important legacies whose foundations were laid by the Glorious Revolution, William and Mary and the Dutch.
