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!
Many people are confused, they thought "London Bridge is falling down" is about this bridge, caz its iconic and "LOOKS" old But the bridge that fell was not this one and is another story (For another time, says Grey)
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.
It is most odd to see some people claiming that the City of London is not in the UK. Other videos on TH-cam make the point that some people even compare it to the Vatican City whereas it is actually the nucleus of the huge city which bears its name and that huge city is an amalgamation of villages and towns which gradually grew into one another. The City has certain privileges not granted to anywhere else and is loyal to its monarch and whenever that monarch enters the City there is a ceremony at the boundary where the monarch’s authority and the City’s unique privileges are mutually acknowledged. The monarch is NOT entering independent territory. Why on earth should famous Britons such as the Duke of Wellington and Lord Nelson be buried in St Paul’s Cathedral, the seat of the Bishop of London, if they would thereby be lying in ‘foreign’ soil?
The Tower of London is not owned by the Corporation of London it belongs to The Crown and is managed by Historic Royal Palaces a forner government agency now officially a charity. The Corporation of London is basically the local authority for the City it is not a Corporation in the sense of being a company. The Tower is not actually within the City's boundaries but in the London Borough of Tower Hamlets.
Hi Pedro, your title is wrong. The City of London is definitely part of the UK! The 8000 people who live there have UK passports! It's just NOT a "London borough". The Mayor of (Greater) London has no jurisdiction over the City of London. The City has its own Lord Mayor. The City of Westminster is also a city, BUT it is not "the rest of London" - it is only ONE London borough. There are 32 London boroughs. So Westminster, as a London borough, is under the authority of the Mayor of London who also controls all the other boroughs, BUT he does not control the City of London, because that City is not a London borough. It's its own county (NOT country). The country is the United Kingdom 😃
The City of London is part of the United Kingdom and is subject to the same laws as other parts of the UK. It has a unique local governance which allows for some self autonomy going back over 1000 years. It’s special status in terms of financial services means that it acts as a conduit for offshore trust funds in British territories such as Gibraltar. This is why London is the wealth management centre of the world, major funds can be put in offshore trusts with the legitimacy of the special status of the City of London.
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....'

At one time there was no London just the City of London surrounded by small villages and farms. As Metropolitan London expanded greatly in size, particularly with the Industrial Revolution, the City remained a semi-autonomous unit within its ancient (Roman) boundaries. But it is still part of the UK.
The Tower of London is not in the City of London (its in Tower Hamlets in Greater London) its not owned by the City of London. The Bridge shown is not London Bridge, it is Tower Bridge, it is not in the City of London, but is owned by charity set up by the Corporation of the City of London. London Bridge is in the City on one side and Southwark the other and is also owned by the charity owning Tower Bridge. The City of Westminster is not Greater London, so the street signs for Greater London can have any of the 32 London Boroughs on them. For the most part the laws ae the same across England, all local authorities have Bye-Laws, these are generally minor.

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.

The City of London is part of England and therefore part of the UK, but it does have special privileges dating back to Roman times and even gets named in Magna Carta. Jurisdictionally it is independent to some extent, but it is part of the nation. The City of London predates London (general term) or the City of Westminster (London)...

Lots of bollocks here, mate, including: 1. You didn't go from 'London' to 'not London'. You went from one part of London to another. Greater London has two cities - CoL and Westminster. If you go from Westminster to the CoL you are still in Greater London. The CoL and Westminster have the same Member of Parliament and the CoL has the same Member of the London Assembly as much of East London. 2. The CoL doesn't have different laws from the rest of England. 3. The map of London does, of course, include the CoL. You happened to choose a map showing the London Boroughs of which the CoL is not one. 4. The bridge you showed was Tower Bridge, not London Bridge. Both are owned and maintained by the CoL - but many local authorities own many bridges so it's hardly big news. The Tower of London is owned by the monarch and isn't even in the CoL. 5. England has dozens of guild halls. You really need to do better.
Fundamentally, the City of London is not secret. Half a million people work there every day (myself included). It is absolutely a part of the UK. While I'm sure many Londoners would love for London to be an independent state from the UK, that is not a thing. It is also part of London. You may mean that it is its own independent county within the Greater London region. It has its own governmental procedures and is classed as a district of England. They didn't change the name to Guildhall; Guildhall came way before city hall. You failed to mention anything about Aldermen and London wards, which would have been great to identify why the City does things its own way, and to introduce the concept of the London wall gates and boundaries. You showed Tower Bridge and said "London Bridge", so that's a big discredit to the video! "Only a few people know about this" is a wild statement with no supporting evidence. I can guarantee the majority of Londoners know this. Ultimately, the City of London remains its own entity to this day to differentiate the old Londinium that the Romans founded to the Greater London area which has slowly grown bigger over hundreds of years.
@@ryrilo5078 The Corporation of London is the local authority of the City of London except for the area of the Two.Inns of Court - The Inner and Middle Temples which govern themselves. Corporation in this sense is an old fashioned term for a borough council. And before you ask the Inns.of Court are places where Barristers have their chambers or offices the 2 in the City of London are called Temples as the Knights Templar had their London base in the area. If the City of London is independent of the UK as many people seem to believe then how come it is represented in both the House of Commons and the Greater London Assembly?
*London is not a city, never has been a city, and never will be a city* contrary to what most people believe, therefore it is not a *city within a city* as that's impossible. The *UK* has *69 cities* and *London* is not one of them. *Greater London* aka *London* is a *county* and *region* which contains *2 cities.* Those *2 cities* are: 1 - The 8 mile square *City of Westminster.* 2 - The 1 mile square *City of London* which is also a *county.* Therefore for *Greater London* to become a *city* they would either have to persuade those 2 cities to voluntarily give up their *city status,* or persuade the *Queen* to forcibly remove the *city status* from those 2 cities, neither of which will happen.
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.
Living and working in the City of London, I can tell you that most of the insinuations in this video are complete bollocks. There are other much more informative videos about the City of London out there. The editing of this video was quite good, and I liked the backing track.
@ Jim Davies Just that you work there doesnt mean anything, especially not since we dont know if you actually work there and what your posistion. Not to mention if you are a member of one the guilds you wouldnt be talking in the first place. Oh and lets not forget there is quite lot of documentation going back to roman times about the special status of the City of London. And William the Conqueror being the one who granded them this special status. Although it doesnt goes as far back as the Roman times, simular documentation also exist of Washington DC; which isnt part of the US. I highly doubt your work there and Im pretty sure besides Hollywood fiction you know about the nobility and its structure.
The title of this video is just wrong. The City of London is absolutely part of the UK, it just has certain qualities that other counties don’t. Also, if it wasn’t part of the UK why did you say “has the smallest police force in the whole of England” by your own definition it must be part of the UK if it’s part of England… just another video that didn’t fact check properly.
The City of London Corporation is basically the local government authority for most of The City. Corporation in this sense is an old name for a borough council not a company.
THE CITY is part of the UK. It is the BACKBONE of the nation and the empire. I don't know how or why you managed to misinform yourself that is not part of the jurisdiction of the United Kingdom.

What is the political power they have in the City of London?
😈💸💰
Yes. Theres a sinister reason why this is the case.
Yes I believe temple bar has masonic connections
you might be interested to know that its a masonic city

EVERY MAJOR CITY WITHIN PROTESTANTISM IS MASON.
IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT STOP BEING PROTESTANT ......
It's basically England's Vatican city.
No because the Vatican is an independent country, the City of London is part of the UK
@@pedanticradiator1491 ..actually the city of London is an independent corporation.
@@ryrilo5078 The Corporation of London is the local authority of the City of London except for the area of the Two.Inns of Court - The Inner and Middle Temples which govern themselves. Corporation in this sense is an old fashioned term for a borough council. And before you ask the Inns.of Court are places where Barristers have their chambers or offices the 2 in the City of London are called Temples as the Knights Templar had their London base in the area. If the City of London is independent of the UK as many people seem to believe then how come it is represented in both the House of Commons and the Greater London Assembly?
lol ive been in and out many times of the city of London and i though it was just a fancy title for the city financial place
It is
It is part of the UK
*London is not a city, never has been a city, and never will be a city* contrary to what most people believe, therefore it is not a *city within a city* as that's impossible.
The *UK* has *69 cities* and *London* is not one of them.
*Greater London* aka *London* is a *county* and *region* which contains *2 cities.*
Those *2 cities* are:
1 - The 8 mile square *City of Westminster.*
2 - The 1 mile square *City of London* which is also a *county.*
Therefore for *Greater London* to become a *city* they would either have to persuade those 2 cities to voluntarily give up their *city status,* or persuade the *Queen* to forcibly remove the *city status* from those 2 cities, neither of which will happen.
When they and Event or Big Do at the Mansion House you can literally smell the money in the Air !!

Founded in AD43 by the Romans and named Londinium. The Queen can't enter without permission.
Just learned this today and I've been in London for years. Nice upload.
This video is mostly bollicks
@@pedanticradiator1491 indeed it is
Not secret,at all,in fact.
Eeesh, complete rip of CGP London's video.
Thank you for showing this but not explaining ANY of the history of it.
Great video. Fun, interesting, short and sweet and to the point...
The Knights Templars
Former PM warned of it.
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.
It's a crown 👑 dependency. NOT in the UK
If it wasn't in the UK then how come it is represented in the House of Commons?
Living and working in the City of London, I can tell you that most of the insinuations in this video are complete bollocks. There are other much more informative videos about the City of London out there.
The editing of this video was quite good, and I liked the backing track.
@ Jim Davies
Just that you work there doesnt mean anything, especially not since we dont know if you actually work there and what your posistion. Not to mention if you are a member of one the guilds you wouldnt be talking in the first place. Oh and lets not forget there is quite lot of documentation going back to roman times about the special status of the City of London. And William the Conqueror being the one who granded them this special status. Although it doesnt goes as far back as the Roman times, simular documentation also exist of Washington DC; which isnt part of the US. I highly doubt your work there and Im pretty sure besides Hollywood fiction you know about the nobility and its structure.
The title of this video is just wrong. The City of London is absolutely part of the UK, it just has certain qualities that other counties don’t. Also, if it wasn’t part of the UK why did you say “has the smallest police force in the whole of England” by your own definition it must be part of the UK if it’s part of England… just another video that didn’t fact check properly.
So this is like Rothschild HQ?
Not owned by the City but The City Of London Corporation
The City of London Corporation is basically the local government authority for most of The City. Corporation in this sense is an old name for a borough council not a company.
Thanks for this God bless you. I knew about this place but you have given a good over view.
Thank you very much, it’s just a bit of nice information to know. There is much more about it all over the internet.
NYC is a separate city-state like City of London. see my chamm31 ep 4.
The City of London.
The smell of garlic is unbearable.
THE CITY is part of the UK. It is the BACKBONE of the nation and the empire. I don't know how or why you managed to misinform yourself that is not part of the jurisdiction of the United Kingdom.

Not part of the UK? What utter crap. It might be independent from other parts of London but it is not an entirely separate country! What is this guy on! He needs to do some serious fact checking.
