However, organisations such as BBC London appear to ban the phrase unless
it's in a name of an actual body, eg the GLA.


What BBC London do geographically is pretty meaningless.

They cannot even manage to match their own news coverage area to the TV
transmitters they use. There are a number of areas who cannot receive any
other BBC local TV news service, but whose local news is transmitted by
another region. They can only get a BBC local news service if they choose
to have satellite.
