The (secret) City of London is NOT part of the UK | England

The City of London is NOT London! Looks like a play on words but it's not. They are completely different cities.

I have been may times in London and there is so many things to do in the City of London, but this time I thought about talking a bit about the secret City of London.

The City of London is also knows as The City and The Square Mile because it only has about 1.12 square miles.
I talk on the video about the City of London about some secrets and facts about it but there is one in particular that most of the people don't know, and that is the London Bridge and the London Tower are not owner by London's government but they are owned by The City of London Corporation.

Some say that the City of London is not part of the UK, I don't know about that but the facts that I say on the video about the city of London I know they are true.

The city of London has a different mayor and he is usually called The Right Honourable Lord Mayor of London, The Lord Mayor of London has full authority over The City of London, The Square Mile.

There are many conspiracies about banking and finance in The City but for sure The City owns a lot of buildings and places outside of the perimeter of The City.

Hit me up in the comments for any questions!

It seems to be the smallest police force but 800 police officers for 1.1 square miles is INSANE

[dewhatwhat]

It is apart of England these people have been in that city for hundreds of years and made a lot of money’ it was allways left alone by medieval raiders as a sort of respect to the Romans England love from York the real capital of England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿☦️

[DCRCS]

The beginning of this is ripped straight out of CGP Grey's video

[dopeheaddude]

Its where the true power in this world the Crown Cartel

[elal]

Click bait title! Interesting the description make no such reference to this claim or within the video itself. By the way the bridge you show is Tower Bridge, not London Bridge!

[sabcolman]

Interestingly, the Bank of England is belongs to a family.... A rich family.. you know them..

[ashleybellofsydney]

We have the same set up her in Australia with the City of Sydney and the municipality of Sydney City. This arose out of a need for early convicts being exempt from paying tax.

[breatharian]

This is BS. The City of London is part of the UK, but because it is centuries older than Parliament itself, it is afforded with special privileges agreed between the City of London Corporation and King John as per the 1215 Magna Carta ("Great Charter") in return for the City of London recognizing the King's authority. So once again, this video is total BS.

[dansegelov]

That was 'Tower Bridge, ' NOT 'London Bridge!'

[gfuentes]

copied from CGP grey, give credit where it's due

[arhamjain]

The first minute was copied exactly from cpg grey even the map.

[pedanticradiator]

If The City of London is not part of the UK then how come it's residents (and yes some people do live there) can vote for an MP in the House of Commons, members of the Greater London Assembly and even for the Mayor of London? As for the Queen needing permission to enter she doesn't its just that the Lord Msyor greets her at the City boundary to acknowledge the city's loyalty to the Crown when she visits oh and BTW that's Tower Bridge not London Bridge.

[barrykrishna]

Its done for financially exploitative reasons. Like the Cayman islands etc.

[frankrowland]

Absolute bull crap, the City of London IS part of England and therefore part of the U.K., or would help to get the facts right before publishing.

[Gallalad]

1:11 did you literally steal CGP Grey's map too? Jesus Christ lad

[kchronicles]

City of London, Vatican, and DC.. all done!!.. Storm coming.. Wwg1wga..

[GFSLombardo]

The "CITY OF LONDON" is certainly in England and is part of the UK. However, it is historiclly a separate legal entity from " Greater London"or "Metropolitan London" and from all the other boroughs which make up what we know as London. Its a British"thing". Try to make your clickbait a little more accurate next time. Just sayin....'

[anethers]

Very few people know, anyone who went to school in England knows! Many cities still call ‘city hall’ the guildhall

[pt]

It's basically an offshore finance centre which is free from regulation.

[hideinmysuitcase]

It's definitely part of the UK and as for the word "secret", I'd use "little known" or something along those lines, if I wanted to be accurate.
