What is the London Square Mile?

Just what is the London Square Mile that I have referred to in my previous posts?

Well this morning I have learnt something new... The City of London is often called The Square Mile and is only the small bit in the middle that is literally made up of one square mile.

Some key things that aren't in The City include:

* Trafalgar Square and Nelson's Column
* Piccadilly Circus
* The London Eye
* The Tower of London (it's just outside)
* Tower Bridge (also outside)
* Tate Modern (but the Millennium Bridge is a City bridge)

Interesting article on the history of London here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/City_of_London

So I stand corrected with my previous posts and titles!!
