Historically, "London" referred to the square mile of the City of London at the conurbation's heart, from which the city grew.
There are other definitions of "London" which cover varying areas, such as the London postal districts; 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.

 Guardian Unlimited Arts | Arts critics | The hotch-potch rebuilding of Paternoster Square
After a protracted struggle, Paternoster Square Mk2 is finally complete - and St Paul's is now flanked to its north by a gathering of burly office blocks clad in the architectural equivalent of tweed coats.
Here is a new city square with star-patterned paving, sturdy benches, arcades for rainy days, and, at its heart, a Corinthian column rising from a stone-stepped base and crowned with a torch of gilded fire.
A mockery of the language of classical architecture, this Paternoster office block is kitsch writ gross, a kind of two fingers up to Wren and Hawksmoor, who worked so hard to create the peerless dome and west towers of St Paul's.

And because post-war Paternoster Square is not a conservation area, there is even less that the City Planning Committee can do to control the design of buildings within it.
And when buildings like Sudbury House in Paternoster Square and the Stock Exchange Tower become obsolete, they should be redeveloped so as to restore the domination of St Paul's - and our famous skyline as well.
To sum up: because there is this broad discretionary element in our planning legislation, as well as the absence of aesthetic control, architects and developers have the wrong kind of freedom - the freedom to impose their caprice, which is a kind of tyranny.
