In 1972, the Exchange moved to a new purpose-built building and trading floor in Threadneedle Street.

Between April and May 2006, having been rebuffed in an informal approach, [[Nasdaq]] built up a 23% stake in the Exchange.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.ft.com/content/1a2a6a20-e024-11da-9e82-0000779e2340|title=Warnings in vogue at French Connection|work=[[Financial Times]]|access-date=8 March 2018}}</ref> The stake grew to 29% as a result of the London exchange's share consolidation.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.lseg.com/sites/default/files/content/documents/prospectus-may-2006.pdf|title=Prospectus|publisher=London Stock Exchange Group plc|access-date=8 March 2018}}</ref> Nasdaq has since sold its investment.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/6164376.stm|title=LSE rejects £2.7bn Nasdaq offer|date=20 November 2006 |publisher=BBC|access-date=20 March 2015}}</ref>
