London Stock Exchange Prices

[DJB]

Hi all

I posted this thread the other day with no takers.

So, trying a different tack, can anyone recommend where I can get a download (.txt, .csv or any other format) of current share prices on the London Stock Exchange (by current, minutes / hours old, or even yesterday's is completely acceptable).

I would like this from a site I don't have to sign up to. Please don't suggest getting an app, signing up to Google Finance or using an add-in. I want to do this myself.

Thanks for reading.

Have a look here:

two issues
* You have to complete a list of shares (and probably split it into pieces)
* Best sample on the above mentioned page works in google docs. But have a look on such sample link built up with method described there http://finance.yahoo.com/d/quotes.cs...=snl1w1rdyabgh

Hi Kaper

Bingo!!!
Tucked away in the page you've given a hyper-link to is the nugget that I have to use ".L" in the formula to indicate I want LSE prices, not NYSE prices. Brilliant. I couldn't find that anywhere!

Thanks for the pointer.
