London 4K - Main Street - City Of London - Driving Downtown - England

Tuesday afternoon drive into the City Of London, a major meeting point for businesses worldwide. Throughout the 19th century, the City was the world's primary business center. Highlights include entering the city on the A10 roadway, the London Wall road, once the defensive wall first built by the Romans around Londinium, and ending near the intersection where the Bank of England is located.

The City of London is the primary central business district (CBD) of London. The City is now only a tiny part of the metropolis of London, though it remains a notable part of central London.

The City of London is widely referred to simply as the City (differentiated from the phrase "the city of London" by capitalizing City) and is also colloquially known as the Square Mile, as it is 1.12 sq mi (2.90 km2) in area. Both of these terms are also often used as metonyms for the United Kingdom's trading and financial services industries, which continue a notable history of being largely based in the City.

About three quarters of the jobs in the City of London are in the financial, professional, and associated business services sectors.

The City is a major business and financial centre. Throughout the 19th century, the City was the world's primary business centre, and it continues to be a major meeting point for businesses. London came top in the Worldwide Centres of Commerce Index, published in 2008. The insurance industry is focused around the eastern side of the City, around Lloyd's building. A secondary financial district exists outside the City, at Canary Wharf.
