You have that relationship backwards; sixty-plus years of British retreat and billions of gallons of oil, and trillions of dollars, and financially weakened Britain have reversed that relationship; reflecting another part of why it’s now called Londonstan.

Their relationship is similar to Rome and Vatican.
It's true that Britannia mostly sunk, but City still rules the waves. By other means of course.
