Square Mile (East)

London’s most Jekyll-and-Hyde-like hood. By day, the banking district throbs with suits losing fortunes. They still dig steaks at Gaucho City though perhaps the Michelin-starred Rhodes 24 is out of their price range now. Well, probably not. The Counting House is for after-work beers, while the possibility of shopping at the Royal Exchange is laughable, but who says you have to buy? By night, well, just don’t go there.
