County Councils provide the street lighting.

not where I live they don't :-)

Unitary Authority?

or London Borough, City of London or Westminster,

If those are equivalent in the distribution of civic responsibilities
to a unitary authority, then they come into the same basket.

weird isn't it

London Boroughs are technically different to Unitaries but actually
identical

I suppose more things have been given to the Mayor to look after, but I
don't think that was the case when they were first set up

I remember the LCC (London County Council) which was a precursor to the
GLA. Perhaps they did education -

Well the white china plates at my first primary school in Chiswick had
LCC marked on the underside if that is any indication.
Was a while back mind, they marched us over the park to the edge of the
Great West Road to watch President Eisenhower pass by .
