Oh, right. I should point out that I don't live or work in the City at all, and I'm not a stockbroker. I'm interested in seeing nice architecture in London because where I live is not far from the City and I'd like a nice view. Interesting buildings provide an interesting living environment, as far as I'm concerned. I find that wondering round the City is great (but best done at a weekend for the reasons that you hint at above). I love the street names and the history they imply. I think that the twisty little back streets and the multi-layer bits of the City are by far the most interesting. There is also lots of interesting stuff around the borders of the City.
I have to agree with you about the general culture thing, though; it's why I don't think I could work in the City no matter how much they paid me over my current job....
