The City

The City of London is a small area within Greater London. It is the historic core of London around which the modern conurbation grew and has held city status since time immemorial. The City’s boundaries have remained almost unchanged since the Middle Ages, and it remains a notable part of central London. It is often referred to as the City or the Square Mile, as it is just over one square mile in area. St Paul's Cathedral, within The City, is the Anglican cathedral for all London.
