Street Map of London needed
[edit]All the maps currently shown are sketchy. It is very difficult to work out where those sketches fit onto the topography, e.g. streets and rivers. The initial location map as a small dot in the middle of Greater London is nigh on useless. It should at least be zoomable in and out. Cvhorie (talk) 08:33, 14 October 2023 (UTC)
Money Laundering
[edit]The City of London's role in illicit financial activity such as money laundering has earned the financial hub sobriquets like ‘The Laundromat’ and ‘Londongrad.’[1]
London’s role as the world’s dirty money clearing house is well-documented but efforts are being made to clean up through legislation, e.g. authorizing unexplained wealth orders. High-value properties are sought after by criminals and money launderers legitimising their gains by investing in the city’s prestigious real estate.[2][3][4]

Form of government
[edit]How can the form of government of the City of London be termed? --95.24.68.61 (talk) 19:27, 11 March 2024 (UTC)
Area of London 2.9 km2? wtf?
[edit]Who is editing these articles? They need to be fired. I've consistently seen that area for many cities globally are being misreported in wiki.
