City of London
The City of London is a unique ceremonial county and local authority district at the historic heart of London, covering just over one square mile. Often referred to as the “Square Mile,” it is the original Roman settlement of Londinium and today serves as one of the world’s leading financial centres, home to the London Stock Exchange, the Bank of England, and numerous global banks and institutions. Despite its small size, it has its own police force, the City of London Police, and an unusual system of governance headed by the Lord Mayor of London (distinct from the Mayor of London). The City blends medieval streets, historic landmarks like St Paul’s Cathedral and the Guildhall, and cutting-edge skyscrapers such as the Gherkin and the Cheesegrater. Its permanent residential population is under 10,000, but it hosts hundreds of thousands of workers and visitors each weekday, making it a major hub of commerce, law, and international trade within the UK and beyond.
The local government in this county is: The City of London Corporation.
