The districts within Greater London are subdivided into what is called boroughs. They were established since 1965. There are 32 boroughs covering an area of 609 sq miles (1579 sq km), and has a population of 7,512,400 in mid 2006. Greater London itself is not a city. It does not have city status. That's because within it, two of the boroughs already have city status, the City of Westminster and the City of London. When people speak of London, they mean "Greater London", and not City of London, which is just a small area within the heart of Greater London which is the main financial district. Instead, people usually refer to that small area as "the City" or "the Square Mile".
There are 32 boroughs that make up Greater London. As mentioned, two are styled cities. Another, Kensington and Chelsea, is styled a "royal borough". The rest are Hammersmith and Fulham, Wandsworth, Lambeth, Southwark, Tower Hamlets, Hackney, Islington, Camden, Brent, Ealing, Hounslow, Richmond, Kingston, Merton, Sutton, Croydon, Bromley, Lewisham, Greenwich, Bexley, Havering, Barking and Dagenham, Redbridge, Newham, Waltharn Forest, Haringey, Enfield, Barnet, Harrow and Hillingdon.
