Local guide
About City of London
The City of London might be first and foremost a business district but it does also have over 8,000 residents who call it home, many of whom live in the famous Barbican buildings, one of the greatest examples of 1960s Brutalist architecture and also home to a world-class arts space. The streets of the Square Mile itself hint at the area's rich history: goldsmiths, mercers, grocers, fishmongers and their trades are still celebrated in their livery halls and there are over 600 listed buildings!
