City CITY and CITY fringes The City of London is not only the historic heart of the capital, being the original site of Roman settlers, but it is now the financial hub of the metropolis. Although the number of people living within the City of London is relatively small (approx 8,000), compared to those commuting and working in the City on a daily basis (approx 320,000). The range of the facilities such as shopping, gyms and places of leisure, is ever expanding and several major retail schemes are well advanced which will make shopping in the City a seven day event. •    Culture - things to do and places to go •   Green and open spaces •   Eating, drinking, shopping •   Transport •   Links Green and open spaces Charterhouse Square Bunhill Fields Finsbury Circus Finsbury Square Middle Temple Gardens Museum of London, Nursery Garden Postmans Park between King Edward Street and Aldersgate Street EC1 Transport Numerous trains, buses and underground stations serve the City of London and the best way of planning the easiest journey is to go to: Transport for London www.tfl.gov.uk Buses For details of the local bus network please visit www.tfl.gov.uk/buses Rail Enquiries Links Direct Gov has ‘Public Services all in one place’ http://www.direct.gov.uk www.photolondon.org.uk The City of London www.cityoflondon.gov.uk Culture - things to do and places to go Guided walks Official City of London Guide steer groups on various historical journeys in different areas and on themes such as 'the darker side' of the capital. www.citysidewalks.co.uk Shakespeare’s City Walk Monuments and locations in the City of London with connections to Shakespeare's life. www.shakespeareguide.com Museum of London Guildhall Art Gallery OTHER LOCAL AREA MINIGUIDES click here Eating, drinking, shopping Aurora Modern European food in elegant, newly restored surroundings that evoke a bygone age of chic railway hotel restaurants.
