Yeah, the City area with postcodes starting EC1-EC4 and WC1-WC2.
You must be crazy trying to live there though - expect to pay upwards of £2000 a month rent for a tiny bedsit (we're talking San Francisco/central LA prices here).

You'd be much better off in a smaller city such as Manchester, Newcastle, Cardiff or even a town like Reading.

Do NOT live in an area of London without finding out what it's like for crime etc because there are some very dodgy areas in the east, north and in more central areas.
The good areas are Hampstead, Kensington and Chelsea although you can expect to pay only slightly less to live here than in the inner city.
