The City of London is the world’s leading international financial and business centre – a global powerhouse at the heart of the UK’s financial services where currencies, stocks, bonds and commodities worth trillions of dollars are traded daily.

Often referred to as ’the City’ or the ’Square Mile’, the City of London is approximately one square mile in area and these terms are synonymous with the UK financial services industry, which is principally based there. Canary Wharf, a few miles east of the City, has become a second centre for London’s financial services industry - and now houses a number of banks and other institutions formerly located in the Square Mile.

Outside of its reputation as a financial centre, London is regarded as one of the world’s most exciting cities, a truly cosmopolitan melting pot, home to hundreds of different cultures, races and religions, all of which contribute to making this diverse city a great place to live.

Outstanding career opportunities, unparalleled culture, theatre, dance, West End shows, museums, a fascinating history, avant garde art, innovative cuisine, cutting-edge fashion, fantastic shopping, vibrant nightlife...London really does have it all.
