Answer 1

It sounds confusing but "London" and "the City of London" are not the same thing. The City of London is London's financial district. Why a corporation? I should think that's rather like a municipal council and works to control the various shenanigans that go on in the City.

Here's a link that might help.

Answer 2

The City of London "the square mile" which is also its own county, with flag and coat of arms is a Corporation. It has responsibilities beyond its borders financially and legally.

A corporation is a company or group of people authorized to act as a single entity (legally a person) and recognized as such in law.
