Authority's remit; this mostly matched the old London County Council Area
but part of Newham, namely North Woolwich, was a notable exception). *
Walthamstow is E17. The E post codes go right up to the Greater London
border and even beyond it in one direction, but stops rather short of it in
another.
As a long term resident of East London I have to disagree with you.
Notwithstanding political definitions, most people regard Forest Gate - birth
place of Dame Anna Neagle and Dame Vera Lynn - as an inner London suburb.

The E post codes do not go to the Greater London border. South Woodford is
E18 but Woodford Green and Woodford Bridge have IG postcodes.

Havering is the eastern-most London borough and none of it has an E
postcode.
