City of London : Britain
The City of London is a small area in Greater London. The modern conurbation of London developed from the City of London and the nearby City of Westminster, which was the centre of the royal government. The City of London is now London’s main financial district. It is often referred to as just the City or as the Square Mile (it is approximately one square mile (2.6 square kilometres) in area). In the Medieval period the City was synonymous with London, but the latter term is now reserved for the large conurbation surrounding it. 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 of London has a resident population of about 7,000 but a daily working population of around 300,000.
The City itself has two independent enclaves within it – Inner Temple and Middle Temple. It also has a number of exclaves well outside its own boundaries: these comprise eight open spaces (parks, forests and commons) in and around London.
