Map of london
The City is a unique, and a historic place. About 8,000,000 people live in the City, but many more(about 310,000) come in during the day to work. Most people are of working age. The City is the leader in international business and finance services, not just for the UK but also for the world. It makes a big contribution to London's economy and to the country's economy. It is also a leading international center for art and culture.
The beating heart of city life has migrated a few miles out from the center. North London is the most upscale, East London is home to the city’s hip and artsy, and South and West London are defined by their large immigrant communities and fine cuisine. Many old buildings are marked by two of the city’s most devastating tragedies: the Great Fire of 1666 (which destroyed 80% of the city in five days) and the German Blitz during WWII. The fantastic architecture that either survived these calamities or the less fortunate replaced buildings now stands as a monument to London’s resilient spirit.
