Just as an aside, speaking of ports whose crippling would have devastating effects.

I think the EU would be brought to its knees if you hit Rotterdam.

A huge percentage of the continents trade goods go through the ports there.

Also the city is infamous for its shop-front prostitution and wide availability of drugs.

I'm wondering where you get this from?

My understanding is that The City of London is a county in its own right whereas long ago it was not.

There are a number of others too. 

I know that there is at least one organisation promoting the idea of either increased autonomy or even possibly independent status but as far as I know it is as yet only their proposal.

that is what a city state is Simon....   it is a country all on its own....   it just happens to be a single city and not a large area.

The Vatican and also our own capitol complex is a city state and technically is not part of the USA.

 I know what a city state is but I have found nothing to indicate that such a thing exists in London.

As I understand it, London is a part of the UK.

So again where did you get anything to support your contention?
