	London City UK
		The City of London is the principal financial district of the United Kingdom, and is one of the most important in the World.
		There are other definitions of "London" for special purposes, such as the London postal district; the area covered by the telephone area code 020; the area accessible by public transport using a Transport for London Travelcard; the area delimited by the M25 orbital motorway; the Metropolitan Police district; and the London commuter belt.
		The East End of London is closest to the original Port of London, and tended for that reason to be the area of the city where immigrants arriving into the port would settle first.

	London Free Press: Sports Section - Council to determine tourney bid
		Londoners have thrown the ball to London city council.
		The goal when this drive began three weeks ago was to sell between 3,500 and 5,000 packages in hopes the numbers would impress city council to act as a guarantor for a required $4-million profit to be split between the International Ice Hockey Federation and Hockey Canada.
		While the final ticket total is impressive and amounts to about $5 million in revenue, it seems that before the city commits to that kind of cash there will be plenty of questions asked of John Winston, manager of Tourism London, the city department heading up the bid.

	London City Council
		The British government created a new London city council more than a decade after the old "Greater London Council" was abolished under Margaret Thatcher.
		There were 14 city council seats elected from one-seat constituencies that are, by definition, "winner-take-all." To correct any distortions in those elections, however, there were 11 seats elected from party lists to make the 25-member city council reflect the party vote.
		Voters cast two ballots: one for a local representative who they most wanted to represent their local interest and the other for their party of choice, which could be different from the party of the candidate they support locally.

	LondonTopic.ca - VIDEO: Council decision on affordable housing draws protest
		Last month the London housing advisory committee endorsed a motion that would see the city investing $2 million dollars into new affordable housing, however, during a Board of Control meeting last week (Feb. 8), a decision was made to divert the entire $2 million into funding repairs into existing affordable housing in the city.
		The demand in the city for new affordable housing must be addressed, Stevens said, but noted when the existing social housing was handed down to the municipalities by the province, back in the Mike Harris days of the Common Sense Revolution, with insufficient reserve funds for affordable housing groups.
		But prior to taking over affordable housing, the city did a "condition assessment and the assessment said we should be topping up the reserves by $2.5 million a year for at least 10 years," she noted.
