You're right -- it's the "square mile" in particular that's under massive surveillance. But that's "The City of London".

The point is that claiming the UK doesn't do mass surveillance is hilarious. They just haven't had a Snowden yet.

The City of London is different from the rest of London, complete with different police forces.

You're correct, I had the "city of London" in mind rather than the "City of London".

London is huge, City of London is just about a mile square and is probably bathed in surveillance.
