I like how that page dutifully lists all the London postcodes and the

straddle the old boundaries so presumably it's what the county the
majority of the postcode sits in that the author has used.


Postal counties are a bit arbitrary anyway, and don't entirely conform
to the real world.

I grew up in "Rochdale, Lancs." even though Rochdale hadn't been in
Lancashire since the creation of Greater Manchester.
