The City

 
The historical city of London is today the Financial capital of the world.
With 9000 residents, its numbers soar to 330 000 during the workday.
Eurobonds, Foreign Exchange, Energy Futures and Insurance are all concentrated in this area.
Over 500 banks are represented and 
one also finds England's media industry.
 
Interestingly, there is a Mayor of London other than that of Greater London.
The one-year post is currently occupied by Fiona Woolfe, a barister.
 
 
The Griffon is the emblem of the City (dragon argenté).

Amid a pletora of new high rise office towers, there is a shopping center, One New Change; the work of modernist architect Jean Nouvel.
