Preferred term

City (London financial district)  

Definition

  • The City commonly refers to the City of London (a small district within Greater London), and by way of metonymy, to the financial industry operating there, and the culture thereof—just as Wall Street is used to refer to more than simply the street and what is on it. The City is also home to London's legal industry, and use of the phrase may sometimes carry that association instead or in amplification—a City lawyer being one who works with the financial industry in some way, for instance.
