London ConnectionCity of London and London-wide guides
The City of London, the historic "Square Mile", is the financial heart of the capital and the starting point of any guide to London. Roman walls, Wren churches and St Paul's Cathedral sit between the glass towers of the Gherkin, the Walkie-Talkie and 22 Bishopsgate. Around half a million people commute here on weekdays, while the Barbican, Leadenhall Market and the riverside at Blackfriars keep it lively in the evenings. Because the City sits at the centre of the transport network, it is also the natural base for our London-wide guides to restaurants, culture, schools and days out.
