The '''City of London''', as distinct from London, is a small area at the heart of London, occupying the site of Roman ''Londinium'' and forming the core of the medieval city. It has a population of just 5,500 (2000 est) but is a highly important district as in encompasses most of London's main financial institutions; indeed, the term 'the City' is often used to describe the UK financial sector (as is another term, 'the square mile', referring to the highly concentrated nature of that sector).
