The City of London is a must-see area of the capital, for so many reasons. Known colloquially as The Square Mile or simply ‘The City’, many of the top trading and financial institutions are based there.
With fantastic travel connections close by, including several Underground stations and mainline connections, such as Liverpool Street Station, you’re only a short hop to the trendy, creative areas of Shoreditch and Hoxton, with their eclectic dining scenes, artisan coffee shops and vintage fashion scenes.
More mainstream shopping outlets can be found at Broadgate Circle Shopping Centre, including restaurants and an ice rink open from November to February.
If you like your traditional markets, you’ll not be disappointed here, with both Petticoat Lane fashion and clothing market and the world-famous Old Spitalfields Market, now hosting regular vintage markets, vinyl fairs and arts & crafts markets.
You’ll find a fantastic selection of serviced apartments available in the City of London on Serviced London Apartments.
