The City of London
The City of London (also known as ‘the City’) is known as the ‘Square Mile’ because its area is approximately just that. Stretching from Covent Garden in the west to the Docklands in the east, it has had city status since its start 2000 years ago and its boundaries are virtually unchanged since Medieval times. It has a resident population of only 8,000 but every day some 320,000 people commute into the City to work.
