Anyone know what the smallest county in the UK by area is?

Discussion ongoing and Google has swung between Rutland - Isle of Wight and The City of London.......

Anyone an expert on UK Counties currently browsing NSC?

Rutland

Isle of Wight and CoL aren't counties

Just finished Engel's England - Matthew Engel's tour of all the English counties. It's a really good read
