Within this part of London are tourist attractions such as the Tower of London and St Paul's Cathedral. The City of London was already established, while the other parts of what is today London was rural countryside and villages. And has been around since Roman times, it is also the oldest part of London. The City of London is the core of Greater London.

As the guards are called, and visitors come to watch the Beefeaters, it is a famous tourist attraction. The Tower of London is a medieval fortress.
