The City of London is a tiny part of central London to which special laws apply. It has its own police force, the City of London police.
Jurisdiction
It is the only jurisdiction in the UK not fully subject to the authority of parliament.[1] This is occasionally exaggerated to suggest it is "a sovereign city-state, completely separate from London".[2]
Control technology
On 24 December 2016, the BBC announced on the advice of MI5 and "counter-terrorism police" that "a "ring of steel" costing £5m had been proposed to protect the skyscrapers in London's "Square Mile" from terrorist attack," including manned checkpoints, rising street bollards and crash-proof barricades. It made reference to the Berlin Christmas market attack.[3]
