I wonder why they defined the centre as St Paul's rather than Charring Cross? Very unusual. I don't think I've ever seen that anywhere else.

Not a Londoner, but the City of London (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/City_of_London) is the traditional center (or centre) of London, and St. Paul's is the main church in the City.

Not actually. As the GP said, Charing Cross (actually its old position at the present Trafalgar Square) is considered the centre of London, and all the distances are measured from there. Despite its name, the City of London is only one of the towns and villages comprising what we traditionally think of as "London".

Fun fact: Officially, there is no such place as "London". ;)

The map did feel a bit skewed to the East based on my perception. Interesting to know it wasn't just my imagination!
