Discover City of London
The City of London is the historic Square Mile at the heart of the capital, and one of the world's best known financial districts. Banks, law firms, markets and professional services sit alongside medieval churches, narrow lanes and modern towers around Bank, Leadenhall and Moorgate. It lies on the north bank of the Thames, between Westminster to the west and Tower Hamlets to the east. People need to be here for work, meetings, projects and events, and for the City's cultural venues such as the Barbican. Daytime activity is intense, while the residential population is small, so a well placed base makes a real difference to daily travel. WJO Property sources fully furnished accommodation around City of London with one point of contact from enquiry to check in.
