The City of London

The City of London, often referred to simply as "the City," is a small but significant area within Greater London. It is the historical and financial heart of the UK, home to major banks, businesses, and the London Stock Exchange. Stretching just over a square mile, it features iconic landmarks like St. Paul's Cathedral and the Tower of London. The City operates with its own unique governance and traditions, distinct from the rest of London, and plays a vital role in both the UK and global economies, making it a key hub for finance and commerce.
