The City from the Shot Tower, inscribed 'first state'
The City of London has been London's main business centre for centuries.
In Georgian and Victorian eras the City became triumphant in style, with many a grand building appearing. The German bombing during the Second World War saw many fine buildings destroyed or damaged, and the later 20th century was a period in which new developments such as the Barbican Complex, Lloyds Building and Swiss Re spring up across the Square Mile.
