Does that still work when applying the same logic to New York ? So the World Trade Center and Wall Street are not exactly central, and chances are, if you aren't going there unless you work in finance. When people talk about New York that's mostly Time Square and what's within at most 1 mile circle around. That seems strange to me.
I am not quite sure what point you are trying to prove, the City is mapped in full even on the most restrictive tourist map. It contains the Tower Bridge, the Tower of London. It is in Zone 1 of the tube. Except for some geographical and political quirks, I can't believe anybody, especially not Londoners, are going to be mislead by the article assumption.
- vidarh 10y agoI'm not trying to prove anything. The point was very simple: That City is different from what most people will think of when thinking of the centre of London. Even if you consider it part of the centre, it is at most a small part of it. I made it simply because people who don't live here often get confused by that distinction and think that City refers to London as a whole. The comment I replied to, appeared to try to extrapolate from the history of City to central London as a whole, for example, but City and the rest have very different histories and have been different cities for most of their history.
