The City of London is a unique place to live. Many people find it surprising how many great attractions there are in the Borough and hold the mistaken belief that the vast majority of people commute to the area rather than living there because of the lack of benefits. It is true that the City is vastly more crowded during working hours but this doesn’t mean the area goes to sleep afterwards. There is actually a lot of art and culture to enjoy, not to mention the cuisine and bars to explore.

One of the best attractions of living in the City is the fact that you are well placed to take advantage of the fantastic transport system. The Borough is served by no less than 12 Underground stations, making it the most connected area in London. This makes it very easy for people to get around and means they can forgo having a car. The central location also means you can choose a bicycle as your mode of transport if you want more flexibility.

Shopping in the City is a surprising experience too. The area is the financial centre of the UK so retail takes a back seat but there are still some really good markets to enjoy. Leadenhall Market is based in a beautiful setting in an enclosed Victorian arcade. The structure is Grade II listed and retains many of the original characteristics. This makes it a great place to visit for people with a passion for design. It is no surprise that it is home to a number of fashion boutiques.

Where the City really excels is dining. The Borough has an incredible range on offer with cuisine from all around the world. The restaurant district is fantastic, catering for the commuters who work in the area as well as the residents. You can enjoy fine dining at any number of places or find hidden gems with unique menus.
