"The city"... You realise there are other cities in the world don't you? I could understand you referring it to "the city" if we lived in a post apocalyptic wasteland where most of civilisation has been wiped out, and the survivors have come together to create a single megalithic super-metropolis, but last time I checked, this wasn't the case.

The City is the central square mile of London. It's a thing.

Whut.

It's an accepted phrase in the UK. If you don't know "The City" refers to a specific area of London then that's your fault.

Reminds me of Garth Marenghi's Darkplace on Glasgow:

"My aunt lives in Scotland; she says it's quite nice."
"Well, she's wrong."
