City of London

The City, the square mile inside the Roman wall, is the Bank of England, the Royal Exchange, the Tower, Ten Trinity Square and the Lloyd's building, and a precise dining geography that pivots between the formal-lunch register and the destination-room. Anne-Sophie Pic's two-Michelin-star La Dame de Pic London sits inside the Four Seasons at Ten Trinity Square; the Square Mile's livery halls, the Ned, City Social and Coq d'Argent form the surrounding constellation. Weekday lunch is the dominant shift, Saturday is intentionally quiet by City convention, and the traveller uses the hood for the long-lunch celebration that anchors a one-night London stay.
