The City is referred to as the wealthiest square mile on earth and is presided over by a Lord Mayor who is appointed annually. The City is not a part of England, just as Washington D.C., is not a part of the USA.
There are 3 cities belong to no nation & pay no taxes. They are Washington's District of Columbia, which is not part of the City of Washington or the US. The inner city of London, which is not part of London or England & Vatican City, which is not part of Rome or Italy.
These cities, called City States, have their own independent flag, their own separate laws & their own separate identity.
London's inner city is also a privately owned corporation or city state, located right in the middle of greater London. It became a sovereign state in 1694 when King William III of Orange privatised & turned the Bank of England over to the bankers.
The Queen functions largely in a ceremonial capacity and serves to deflect attention away from the other Crown, who issues her marching orders through their control of the English Parliament. The other Crown is comprised of a committee of 12 banks headed by the Bank of England (House of Rothschild).
When the Queen wishes to conduct business within the City, she is met by the Lord Mayor at Temple (Templar) Bar where she requests permission to enter this private, sovereign state. She then proceeds into the City walking several paces behind the Mayor.
City State of London is the world's financial power centre and wealthiest square mile on earth — contains Rothschild controlled Bank of England, Lloyd's of London, London Stock Exchange, ALL British banks, branch offices of 385 foreign banks and 70 U.S. banks.
It has its own courts, laws, flag and police force — not part of greater London, or England, or the British Commonwealth and PAYS ZERO TAXES!
