The city. London's financial district is built on the site of the original Roman settlement. Its full title is the city of London, but is usually referred to as the city. Most traces of the early city were obliterated by the Great Fire of 1666 and World War II. See page 22-3 and 31. Today, glossy modern offices stand among the plethora of banks with marbled halls and stately pillars. It is the contrast between Dour War and like Victorian buildings and shiny new ones that gives the city its distinctive character, though it hums with activity in business hours. Few people have lived here since the 19th century, when it was one of London's main residential centers. Today only the churches, many of them by Christopher. Wren see page 47, are a reminder of those past times.
