Technically, London is the smallest city in England(*), covering
the area inside the medieval city bars and run by the medieval
chartered corporation, electing officials from the old craft
guilds. The surrounding boroughs all expanded out into a vast
conurbation grouped together as Metropolitan London. Ken
Livingstone is mayor of the latter, while I am surprised to find
that I am the Lord Mayor of the former.

The Orc's Nest looks to be in the neighbouring City of
Westminster, vaguely between Oxford Street and Trafalgar Square.
