The City of London is a
geographically small city within Greater London, England. It is the
historic core of London around which, along with Westminster, the
modern conurbation grew. The City's boundaries have remained almost
constant since the Middle Ages, and hence it is now only a tiny part
of the much larger London metropolis. It is often referred to as
just the City or as the Square Mile, as it is almost exactly one
square mile (2.6 km˛) in area.
These terms are also often used as metonyms for the United Kingdom's
financial services industry, which is principally based there. It
should be noted that the City is not one of the 32 London boroughs.
In the medieval period the City was the full extent of London, and
distinct from the nearby, but then separate, settlement of
Westminster, which became the City of Westminster. The term London
now refers to a much larger conurbation containing both 'cities'.
The City of London is still part of London's city centre, but apart
from financial services, most of London's metropolitan functions are
centred on the West End. The City is today a major business and
financial centre, ranking on a par with New York City as the leading
centre of global finance. The City has a resident population of
under 10,000, whilst the City employs 340,000 professional workers,
mainly in the financial sector, who commute on a daily basis -
making the area's transport system extremely busy during certain
peak times. It is known as the richest square mile in the world.
The City is governed by the City of London Corporation, which has
some unusual responsibilities for a local authority, such as being
the police authority for the City. It also has responsibilities and
ownerships which lie beyond the City's boundaries.
The Latin motto of the City of London is "Domine dirige nos", which
translates as "Lord, guide us".
Beginning in the west, where the City borders Westminster, the
border cuts across the Victoria Embankment from the Thames, passing
to the west of Middle Temple, then going east along Strand and Fleet
Street, north up Chancery Lane, where it becomes instead the border
with Camden. It continues north to Holborn, turns east, continues to
Holborn Circus, and then goes northeast to Charterhouse Street. As
it crosses Farringdon Road it becomes the border with Islington. It
continues to Aldersgate, goes north, and turns east into some back
streets soon after Aldersgate becomes Goswell Road. Here, at Baltic
Street West, is the most northerly extent of the City. The border
includes all of the Barbican Estate and ends up on Ropemaker Street
which, as it continues east past Moorgate, becomes South Place. It
goes north, becomes the border with Hackney, then east, north, east
on back streets, with Worship Street as the most northerly extent
before the border turns south at Norton Folgate and becomes the
border with Tower Hamlets. It continues south into Bishopsgate, and
takes some backstreets to Middlesex Street where it continues
south-east then south. It makes a divergence to the west at the end
of Middlesex Street to allow the Tower of London to be in Tower
Hamlets, and then reaches the river.
The City's boundary runs down the centre of the Thames, though
unusually the City controls the full spans of London Bridge and
Blackfriars Bridge, but only half of the river underneath them. The
boundaries of the City are marked by black bollards bearing the
City's emblem, though at major entrances to the City (such as at
Temple Bar on Fleet Street) a grander monument, with a dragon facing
outwards, marks the boundary.
Dragon statue at Temple Bar monument, which marks the boundary
between the City and Westminster. In some places the financial
district extends slightly beyond the political boundaries of the
City, notably to the north and east, into the London Boroughs of
Tower Hamlets, Hackney and Islington, and informally these locations
are seen as part of the "Square Mile". Since the 1990s the eastern
fringe of the City, extending into Hackney and Tower Hamlets, has
increasingly been a focus for large office developments due to the
availability of large sites there compared to within the City.
The City is made up of 25 Wards which have recently had their
boundaries changed (though the number of wards and their names was
not changed). We at Datable.co.uk have single members in these City
of London wards
