Historically, East London *is* Essex. Similarly all of London to
the south of the Thames is Kent or Surrey. Surrey County Council
has its HQ at Kingston-upon-Thames and Surrey County Cricket Club
is based at The Oval, neither of which are in the present day
county of Surrey. The rest of London - including the cities of
London and Westminster - is in Middlesex, still used by some people
on postal addresses. Middlesex Guildhall still stands in Parliament
Square - I think it now houses the Supreme Court.

Historically the City of London has *not* been in Middlesex.
