Are you suggesting the Royal Mail is wrong? As far as I'm aware Bexley has
always been in Kent, it's only the grasping of London suburbia that has
caused Bexley to become attached to the metropolis.


It is the same all around London.

Bromley, Croydon, Mitcham, Sutton and Kingston coming to immediate mind as
examples in South London.

What about Dartford, Watford? It is a pity people (ie the media, mostly)
cannot differentiate between administrative and strategic areas without
using every opportunity to brand things as "London" and calling residents
"Londoners". It is somewhat ironic that the London branding lobby that try
so hard to persuade Bexley that it's in south London actually harm the
expansion of the Greater London administrative are by doing so.

A significant area around London can be sensibly co-ordinated from London,
but that does't mean for a moment that it then automatically becomes London
or those areas lose their cherished identity.

What indeed? I did say these were examples - there's probably a couple of
dozen in all.

Quite, and Uxbridge, Rickmansworth, Ruislip, Enfield etc. I suspect that
anything inside the M25 will soon be "London" and anything outside will be
out in the sticks
