The City
As London expanded, especially from the early eighteenth century, the City became increasingly commercial. In 1901 the residential population was 30,000 but by 1990 it had declined to about 4,500 mainly housed at the Barbican. Since 1996 over 2,500 new apartments were built as the City once again established itself as a noteworthy address.
The combination of longer working hours and the strains of commuting on a historically under-funded transport system, have persuaded increasing numbers of professional high-flyers to look for homes close to their work where they can enjoy all the amenities of a metropolitan environment.
All these homes, though new are located in areas steeped in history and residents can enjoy not only the comfort of high specification finishes and in some cases original features, but also the social and leisure facilities the City can offer, including the Barbican Arts Centre, excellent health clubs and superb restaurants and bars.
Shopping is also easy. Marks & Spencer at Moorgate is open at the weekend, there is Tesco Metro at Cheapside, Liverpool Street and Fleet Street, all opening longer hours to serve a growing population.
