Did you know?
The City of London is England's second smallest British city in
both population and size, after St David's in Wales.
The City nearly burned to the ground twice, first in 1212 and
then again in the Great Fire of London in 1666.
The City controls the full span of London Bridge and Blackfriars
Bridge, but only half of the river underneath them.
