The City of London is the beating heart of a world city, and the centre of a dynamic network of commerce, trade and capital.

The City is changing, the workforce has become the youngest in the UK with 61% of all City workers aged 22–39 and over 40% now from overseas. SMEs make up 99% of the City’s businesses and micro businesses, with employees of less than 10, make up a staggering 83%. The City’s industries have expanded and diversified to include a large number of TMT businesses and with the new Culture Mile and One City initiatives the City of London is both celebrating and expanding its historic and contemporary cultural offer with over 20 cultural institutions, hundreds of bars, restaurants, shops and experiences unique to London’s historic centre.
