Bank Rate
The interest rate the Bank of England sets. Mortgages, savings and loans all follow it. It holds its level between decisions, so the line is drawn as a step.

Bank Rate changes only when the Monetary Policy Committee decides, so the line is drawn as a step. It holds its level between decisions rather than drifting.
