East London
Financial District
The City of London, or the Square Mile as it’s more traditionally known, is a major business centre on par with New York City as the leading centre of global finance. Ruled by the Lord Mayor and the City Corporation, the world’s oldest local government, it has been a trading location for centuries with international commerce at its core. Bordered by bustling Holborn on the west, Aldgate and Tower Hill to the east and the River Thames on the south, this mini metropolis is a prime spot for high-end shops and eateries frequented by bankers and tourists alike.
Liverpool Street station, one of many transport links in the area, is at the centre of it all and brings roughly 130,000 people to the City everyday. Full to the brim with famous landmarks like The Gherkin and Tower Bridge you can walk around the City of London through little alleyways and discover hidden courtyards, traditional pubs and exclusive restaurants whilst taking in the stunning views and scenery.
For a chic city break or luxury family weekend in a unique loft property or riverfront flat, the City of London has it all.

The Tower of London and Tower bridge are 2 minutes walk.

Parking can be arranged at an amazing price, for Central London, of £10 per day and the Marina is just outside the congestion charge zone. Added to all this is a Marina membership card which gives you 20% off your bill at most of the restaurants.
