It was based on rough proximity to Charing Cross to deal with matters within the metropolis. Actually, the Metropolitan Police District did correspond to a set of pre-1965 local authorities, but they got reorganised in 1965 (within Greater London) and 1974 (elsewhere).

All I was saying was that the Metropolitan Police District comprised whole local authority areas as they existed at the time the boundaries were defined. Which it didn't. For example both before and after 1965 the Metropolitan Police District policed a large chunk of the county of Surrey resulting in residents paying a Police rate to either the Met or Surrey Police. There was no attempt to align boundaries until much later. -- Mike D |
