/ About The City ▾
The City of London — the Square Mile — traces its outline to Roman Londinium, founded around AD 47, whose landward wall still shapes the boundary two thousand years on. The medieval street pattern of lanes, courts and alleys survived even the Great Fire of 1666, which gutted the old city inside those walls and took most of its churches and livery halls with it. From the rebuilding rose Christopher Wren's St Paul's Cathedral, its dome still holding the skyline among the towers. It is a place of sharp contrasts, dense with history underfoot and notably quiet at weekends.
The event character follows that old-and-new grain. More than a hundred livery companies keep halls here, many rebuilt after the Fire and again after the Blitz, panelled and hung with civic silver. Guildhall, the City's ceremonial seat for some six centuries, anchors the formal end. Above them stand the towers and their sky bars: the Gherkin at 30 St Mary Axe, designed by Norman Foster and opened in 2004, and the Sky Garden atop 20 Fenchurch Street, a public glasshouse opened in 2015 with long views across the river. Few areas hold medieval and vertical London so close together.
Leadenhall Market, a covered Victorian arcade of 1881 on the site of the Roman forum, threads the eastern lanes with restaurants and wine bars, while the churchyards and pocket gardens offer rare open ground. Dining runs from panelled City institutions to the towers' upper-floor rooms. Transport is dense: Bank and Liverpool Street on the Underground, Cannon Street and Fenchurch Street for the south-east, and the Elizabeth line calling at Liverpool Street and nearby Farringdon. After dark the Square Mile empties, leaving the floodlit dome and the lit towers to those who stay.
