The Neighborhood

Londinium's genesis emerged here, in the City, when the Romans created a settlement in 1 AD which grew to need a protective London Wall and Bishopsgate was the gate to the east of the City. In fact, famed medieval poet and storyteller Geoffrey Chaucer once lived over the Aldgate in the London Wall which was one of the entrances to the City of London from the wilderness without. Although some of the original wall still exists, these days London is outward facing and welcomes the international community to visit with open arms. The City is now known as the Square Mile and is the beating heart of London's Financial District but there is tonnes of entertainment nearby for you to experience; The Gherkin (aka St Mary Axe), stunning Leadenhall Market and thriving Sushi Samba are on your doorstep.
