Don't confuse the City of London with central London. The City is to the east of central London and is the main business district and also goes by the name of the Square mile. For many years visitors to this part of London were limited to upmarket expensive hotels but in recent times a large influx of budget brands and individual hotels have sprung up. Whitechapel has a large number of fashion outlets and wholesalers and is home to Petticoat Lane market, one of the most famous and oldest of all London's street markets. Although some 3 miles form the heart of London the area has much to offer with plenty of clubs in the surrounding areas. Within half a mile is one of the biggest visitor attraction London has to offer, The Tower of London, a surviving castle from the early days of London's history. Also worth a visit and adjacent to the Tower of London is St Katherine's Dock, a yacht haven with its own shops and restaurants along the River Thames.
