The City of
London has selected Kingston Communications (KC) to provide high speed connections and hosting for its website services. The website, www.cityoflondon.gov.uk, operates as a central portal through which an average of 160,000 monthly visitors can access local information, services and resources. It serves 9,000 residents, a 340,000-strong working population and
UK and foreign visitors, including those looking to relocate. Providing the Square Mile's local government with a managed hosting platform of physical and virtual servers, KC is running a point to point high speed connection from its Docklands data centre to the Guildhall and another key location. In addition to information on the financial district's local government services and an online payment system for customers, the website includes COLLAGE, an image database containing more than 20,000 works of art from its library and Guildhall collections. It also features a facility to apply online for permission to film in the City, which is a major site for location photography and film.
