On the north bank of the River Thames, the City of London has been a compact, historic settlement since the Romans established Londinium around 47 AD. The Square Mile, covering just 716 acres, forms the capital's commercial centre, home to the Bank of England, the London Stock Exchange, and the Inns of Court. Medieval streets and Georgian buildings contrast sharply with modern glass towers, creating a distinctive urban character. With fewer than 11,000 residents yet over 500,000 employed daily, this square mile balances eight centuries with contemporary intensity.
Barbican stands among the most sought-after pockets for families competing for primary places, while Aldgate, St Paul's, and Moorgate anchor the residential neighbourhoods at its outer edge. The Metropolitan and District lines serve the area.
