the City

Used to refer to the largest city in the area generally.
London is an exception, where "the City" (with a capital) is used to refer to a specific area within Central London, also known as the Square Mile. It's the main business district, basically.

US: We're going to the city tonight!
UK: Those damn City workers and their 6 figure salaries.

Stands for Tottenham Court Road, a major street in Central London. Is also used to describe the tube station with the same name.

Take the central line and change at TCR for the Northern.
