The Location

The Square Mile is home to many of London’s biggest cultural, financial and political icons. From the Bank of England to St Paul’s Cathedral, some of London’s best-known buildings and institutions are here.

Today, what the area lacks in green spaces, it compensates for in architectural beauty. The beautiful and expensive stone of the Isle of Portland can be found in many historic buildings and monuments. The ‘modern cathedrals’ – eye-catching skyscrapers of glass and steel – are just as impressive.

So, if you’re a history or architecture buff, the City of London will be a paradise to live in. Wander anywhere around the Square Mile and you’ll find something astonishing to look at within moments. Of course, Christopher Wren’s 17th-century masterpiece, St Paul’s Cathedral, is easily the most eminent tourist attraction to be found in the City. But there’s also the Museum of London, and the Tower of London lies directly on the border of the Square Mile.

Naturally, there’s ample opportunity for leisurely breaks of cappuccino and cake in the area’s many stylish cafes and casual eateries. There are also some of the best restaurants in London here, from Michelin-star winners to cult-status dining sensations.

There really is something for everyone in the City of London. Provided that you have the financial means to maintain a central London lifestyle, this area offers everything you could ask for.
