For those needing to know about the City of London

The City of London continues to maintain its position as a focal point for the world’s financial markets and is home to the UK’s financial services industry.

We will attempt to de-mystify the jargon, discuss financial services providers including banking, insurance, fund management, and explain what they do, why and how the key financial markets work.
