With its roots in medieval times, the City of London is over eight hundred years old, making it the oldest local authority in England and older than parliament itself.

Rich in heritage, the city holds numerous unique historical buildings and monuments including St Paul’s Cathedral and the Tower of London. Also in the borough is the famous Barbican Centre, which offers fantastic concerts, films and more.

Today the City of London is the world’s leading international business and financial centre served by a public transport network and city airport. Home to the Bank of England and the London Stock Exchange, it is perhaps the business borough of the capital.

Postcodes covered by the borough include EC1 – 4.
