History
Imperial Life Insurance Company was established in 1820 for the business of life insurance in the United Kingdom as a sister company to the Imperial Insurance Company, also called the Imperial Fire Insurance Company. At first its offices were in Sun Court, Cornhill and 5 St James's Street, but in 1845 its West End premises moved to 16 Pall Mall and in 1848 its head office moved to 1 Old Broad Street. In 1893 it took over the England Assurance Institution.
In 1902, Imperial Life was acquired by Alliance Assurance and this company merged with Sun Insurance to form Sun Alliance in 1959.
