New Court (also known as The Rothschild Headquarters) is a collection of proximate buildings in London having served as the global headquarters of the Rothschild investment bank since 1809. The current building is the fourth incarnation of the Rothschild offices at the same street address.
Leopold de Rothschild was the third son and youngest of the five children of Lionel de Rothschild. An avid sportsman, he established Southcourt Stud in Southcote, Bedfordshire. He assembled a stable of some of the best thoroughbreds in Europe, his horses winning a number of prestigious races including The Derby, St. Leger Stakes and the 2,000 Guineas. In the Epsom Derby of 1879 and 1904, his own horses got the cup.
