Inside the Bank of England's gold vaults 

Idris is secretly getting facts for his next heist😂

Don't get fooled, most of it is other countries gold.

they gotta chill with the music in this documentary lol

Whoever mixed the soundtrack is either mixing the next Nolan film or getting fired

Longest gold commercial ever.

Interesting fact, none of the paper "money" we use these days is actually backed by gold...

9 vaults in total. 400,000 bars in that 1 vault. 250bn value in 1 vault. UPTO 2.25 trn across 9 vaults

The fact that Idris Elba is hosting this, is GOLD ❤

Gold is money. Everything else is credit

The world’s stolen goods in one room. 😢

Out of those 9 vaults 7 were filled with gold looted from India from 1608 to 1947. There could been 12 vaults in total but the 3 were used in building England.

all the sound engineer had to do was play Shostakovich's Jazz Waltz number 2 (quietly) in the background to the commentary and we might have been able to get a *feel* for the place

Gold is for kings Silver for gentlemen Debt is for slaves

Looks like it's more of India's gold 😂😂😂😂

All the Egyptians, Sudanese, South Africans, Nigerians, Ghanaians, Kenyans, Ugandans, Tanzanians, Zambians, Zimbabweans, Botswanans, Sierra Leoneans, Gambians, Malawians, Basotho, Swazis, Indians, Pakistanis, Bangladeshis, Burmese, Malaysians, Singaporeans, Sri Lankans, Maldivians, Hongkongers, Bruneians, Iraqis, Jordanians, Kuwaitis, Emiratis, Qataris, Bahrainis, Yemenis, Omanis, and Palestinians be like this was all in my backyard 🤔

All that gold holds so much pain 😢

Seeing Stringer Bell walk into the bank of England gets me man loool we back up

The UK government sold all its gold years ago, so most of this is not the UKs It is from private people also the gold the UK still holds for other countries.

Whoever mixed the audio in this video needs to go over the books again. holy shit.

GOLD from India and Africa😂😂

Gold sovereigns are not heavy and you can flip it. Even the 1 troy-ounce Britannia can be flipped.

On May 7, 1999, the UK Treasury announced it would be selling over half of the nation's gold reserves. The move, made by then chancellor Gordon Brown, was done in a bid to diversify and strengthen Britain's reserves by reducing the proportion held in gold

There's a gift for making people smile. Thank you for sharing it.

*If you are not in the financial market space right now, you are making a huge mistake. I understand that it could be due to ignorance, but if you want to make your money work for you...prevent inflation*

"The bank hath the benefit of Interest on all monies which it creates from nothing". William Patterson founder of the Bank of England

Gordon Brown's ill-fated decision to sell off Britain's gold reserves in 1999 has cost the country £21 billion. The then-chancellor oversaw the sale of 401 tons of gold - more than half of the country's holding - 25 years ago this week in an attempt to diversify and strengthen Britain's reserves.

Professor: Where's the nearest Storm water tank?

The transition from gold to tsunami wave gives sense of satisfaction

Who did the sound editing, music louder than commentary

what's mind blowing is that Uk doesn't have a single Gold mine. but they have one of the largest holding as a country

England is so nice and helpful, storing it’s past colonies’ gold with it 😇

Correction* its not bank of england's gold vault. Its looted by england gold vault. Gosh i would have died of shame had my ancestors been thiefs of epic proportions let alone celebrating it. Sinners!!!

It’s too bad the UK sold 395 Tonnes of gold for about $275 an ounce in the period 1999-2002 . But the Bank of England is happy to hold other Countries’ gold.

As gold is about test all time highs, perfect video to get retail in. I'm currently long so this is great!!

Gold is the only currency that has never failed.

Edris my favorite

Gold is the world's first form of modern currency.

considering there is only 3 olympic swimming pools worth of gold that has been mined, that is a shitload of gold.

850 billion pounds? Considering the UKs official gold reserves are 310 tonnes. I calculated thats worth about 24 billion dollars at todays gold prices, or did I count wrong? Interesting tho that they still hold foreign gold reserves maybe she added those in the number she said?

Is professor sergio watching this? He should take notes. All the best.

Oh no, I'd spend so long trying to fix the orientation of all those bars. Some are nearly stacked, then others are facing wrong way up etc

Çok teşekkür ederim.. İlgiyle izliyorum.. “Anatomy of gold.”

Elba hypnotizes her, and takes some for himself🙂

Thank you¡¡

Where did his jacket 🧥 go? And Raiders of the Lost Ark never had any gold in it. ✅

the sound is very bad

Mind blowing in person

Good morning! Welcome to the "LOOT Of England!"

All I see is just a good conductor for the electronics

If I was in a vault like that, I’d bring my own gold coin, and film myself pretending to pick it up off the floor and putting it into my pocket 😂

Also interesting or rather suspicious there are absolutely no marks or stamps on the gold bars. Hope they have a record somewhere who it belongs to XD

This is beautiful❤

Thats the real money in there and theres not enough of it to back up the fake paper pounds.

its heart breaking that most of that gold was from Africa, the most struggling continent and still its leaders sell off its resources for selfish desires and petty promises from the European countries ,living there people in poverty and suffering 😔

l am from Indonesia,l like your video end gold 🇮🇩

"I followed Sarah, deep underground." That sounds so... lol

Hello from India 👋

That’s a lot of yellow lead

i like how they casually have art on the walls of the gold vault... like someone was like you know what we need here... art.

[idris] say something smart when you see the gold, say something smart, say SOMETHING SMART... "this is really unreal." [Idris] F*CKKKKKKKKK

Stolen gold from south africa

If that was real gold it was truly breathtaking! 😊

That gold has seen the rise and fall of many empires

FIRE uP SOUND EDITOR.

Everyone should keep some 1oz solid gold coins.

All Looted from India

we should ready for this tokiyo

Nice one Idris

First time a black man ever stepped foot in that vault

OK here’s the thing … That door is over 70 years old. It’s out dated. It’s also Manual and is a Make that doesn’t have a very good reputation. I didn’t see any improvements either. So there must be a reason for that. Probably a vault within a vault. But again didn’t see any signs of that either. So the only other reason must be that the Vault is extremely deep underground. You cant tunnel , There is no quick in and out smash and Grab kind of robbery. But i did notice one very obvious thing that they haven’t thought of . There are Two ways of getting in . The 1st one is so overwhelmingly obvious that i have gone through this video for over a hour and yep they definitely haven’t seen it. 2nd One is to do with the Ceilings im sure there’s room above to crawl around and if thats true they need to alter it. There is a third but i think this mistake is just a one off due to his fame. Where is the guard escorts. And why is she not wearing a Tag and motion camera ?. That tracks where you are within the building. If this is not a one off and is the norm then the Bank of England need urgent action to update to modern technology and surveillance and Tracking . Just saying. For the 1st way in well here’s a hint .. If you cant get through the Door go around it.

After watching this video I thought that If I have only one gold brick my life is gonna change for good

I'm overwhelmed with emotions remembering how my uncle died in a gold mine during apartheid era digging this very gold I'm seeing here while being paid pittance.

This should be In the hands of people. This is actual money

Bitcoin fans and flat earthers feel attacked here. One wonders why flat earthers in this case. Well, ask bitcoin fans😂

When it comes to your money, they could care less. But when it comes to their money, it's the thickest steel door in the history of Steel doors. Let that be a lesson to you.

I wish i could visit some gold mines in the UK.

Where the bitcoin fans at?

And by the way the UK only has 22 tonne Gold reserve we did have a few hundred but most was sold in 2006 for £256 a oz. In today’s value that would be £2000 a oz. That was a Labour government. Labour has just regained power so expect them to sell it.

Imagine someone who has knowledge of all of these gold reserves after a post apocalypse..... It's a treasure for sure 💀

The fact the we have many vaults like this in the world and children die of starvation daily explains humanity perfectly.

All of that belongs to country’s from around the world

And nearly all of it all belongs to other countries e.g. Venezuela.

idris made this work, hire him more for this show ;)

How much of it was stolen from Africa?

IS usleess, is paper money , not value, nada, puta, nothing, 0. The only value is that gold right there

Looks like something straight out of a movie.

It's amazing not all the gold in all the vaults can't come close to what King Solomon had.

So how much of it is looted?

I have a vault called a ledger and it stores the new digital gold....bitcoin.

What's the address to the bank again?

1:22 interesting pattern on the ground :)))

stolen gold from south africa

when something is finite people tend to grab as much of it possible to hike price . ex gold , bitcoin, crude oil etc etc . this is called grab the supply or Monarchy

Nice

There's a great visitor centre at the BofE.

This is the world's second-largest. The largest one is Indian women's jewelry boxes

i concur

This would have been a recon mission for Idris Elba in his usual genre of movies😂

That all of Africa's Gold which we owed

Surprised they let someone like him in there
