La City, le « Square Mile », est l'un des plus grands centres financiers du monde. Ses gratte-ciel ont des surnoms : the Gherkin (le cornichon), the Walkie-Talkie, the Cheesegrater (la râpe à fromage). Le Shard (310 m) est le plus haut bâtiment du Royaume-Uni. Mais la richesse de Londres a un prix : les logements y sont parmi les plus chers d'Europe, et des millions de travailleurs vivent loin et font la navette.
