From its ancient past as a Roman trading outpost to
its 21st century status as the wealthiest square mile
in the world, the financial district known simply as
“The City” is one of London's most historic and
fascinating neighborhoods. Here high rise office
towers such as Norman Foster’s Gherkin mingle with
Roman ruins and architectural marvels from virtually
every era in between, including Christopher Wren's
...More
glorious St.Paul's Cathedral, and John Soane's
dauntingly classicist Bank of England. This
neighborhood is also home to some of the finest
restaurants and plushest hotels in Europe, in addition
to an assortment of watering holes, upscale shops, and
Tube stations. During the week, the City is abuzz with
white collar workers going about their business; the
weekend sees this area turn into a quiet haven for
sightseers.
