I may be mistaken but isn't the Central Line itself the

moved entirely into Zone 4, I believe to encourage use by making
the fares cheaper.

Chigwell is well outside Greater London. Roding Valley and Grange
Hill are just outside but on the boundary.

Buckhurst Hill and Loughton are well outside too. I don't see why
the old zonal boundary was North of Loughton, to be honest.

The top bit of the Hainault loop used to be outside of the zones,
and I think was brought in before Epping.

Although, in terms of distance, there is a chunk bitten out of Greater
London in the Chigwell area, so you leave London after relatively
little mileage.

I can't think of anywhere that the Central Line is the London
boundary (earlier question). It cuts across.

sentences, even?

The railway land boundaries are the Greater London boundary in the
vicinities of Roding Valley and Grange Hill stations.
