Why London?
London, The Square Mile
The Square Mile is a London nickname that refers only to the City of London. The City of London is a county situated within Greater London and even has its own local government. Today The Square Mile is home to financial organisations and the trading industry. The meaning of this London nickname is very self explanatory as the City is roughly 1 square mile.
