ABSTRACT
London defies easy definition. Historically it has two cities at its core. The square mile of territory controlled by the ancient City Corporation is internationally recognized as ‘the City’; historically the hub of Britain’s trading, banking and financial services. The other, Westminster, is the location of the seat of government and is associated with the trappings of majesty, and parliament: historically the centre of political life and the capital of the United Kingdom (Hall, 1989). These form two major areas of investment and employment.
