As a relative newcomer to London (a mere 30 years ago) I'm still bemused by
the fact that people in Kingston, Sutton, Croydon et al do not regard
themselves as being in London and often do not even know that they are. *
I'd be reasonably sure that if you stopped 100 people in the streets of
those boroughs and asked which county they were in, 90+ would say 'Surrey',
and probably 50+ wouldn't believe you if you told them they were in London.
