What 'obsession' is this?

The same obsession which runs parallel to claiming to be the "capital
city" and naming the county hall "City Hall" when GL isn't a city.

What else can they call it?
Anything that doesn't describe it as something it isn't.

Whatever.

It's not a county
So what's the difference between now and 1965?

The building in London called County Hall is used for other purposes.
The GLC took over the LCC's County Hall.

- and in any event there's already a place called County Hall.

There are lots of places called "County Hall" - roughly one in each
er.... county.

Jolly good.

It has also spread to road signs where various places have been
omitted/deleted and replaced by compass-point London where the road
doesn't even lead to London or to a sensible approach route for the
signed part of London.snip

If you think a sign is misleading or inaccurate, then take it up with
TfL of your local Borough as appropriate.

You won't normally find "London" as a destination on a burgh road, and
TfL don't operate outwith Greater London unless you know of any secret
empire-building planned by Ken.

I don't see what relevance any of that has to what precedes it.
