City of London Essentials

The City of London, known as the Square Mile, contains nearly 2,000 years of history within its Roman boundaries. This selection highlights the district's architectural evolution, from the 12th-century Temple Church and Christopher Wren’s baroque St Paul’s Cathedral to high-tech landmarks like the Gherkin and Lloyd's building. Visitors can explore the ruins of St Dunstan in the East, climb the 311 steps of the Monument to the Great Fire, or walk the Victorian passageways of Leadenhall Market. Cultural icons like the Barbican Centre and Shakespeare’s Globe complete this dense concentration of heritage.
