... Martin Underwood writes As a matter of interest, do postcode boundaries follow the boundary between the Cities of Westminster and London? The boundary between the cities of Westminster and London [1] is very short, probably only 500m or so in length - but even there the boundaries are not precisely the same. See http://tinyurl.com/im8l [1] In their modern administrative boundaries. There's a red boundary line that runs from near Chancery Lane tube station roughly southwards to the middle of the Thames near HQS Wellington. Is that the city boundary or the postcode boundary? On the 1:50000 map it's a long dash and short dot line which means "county, unitary authority, metropolitan district or London borough" so I presume it's the city rather than postcode boundary. I can't find my large A-Z which shows postcode boundaries as well as London borough boundaries. I've never understood the rules governing postcode boundaries. They often cross county boundaries. Mind you, county / unitary authority boundaries seem to be perverse as well: in what used to be called Berkshire (and which most people, unitary authority notwithstanding, still *do* call Berkshire!) there's a boundary that runs through the middle of Reading such that Tilehurst (really a suburb of Reading) is part of the UA of West Berkshire (administered in Newbury) whereas the most of the rest of the conurbation of Reading is part of the UA of Reading. You'd think that common sense would route the boundary in the un-built-up area outside Reading - and would keep moving that boundary as Reading expands so that the whole of the conurbation (as it exists at any time) is always administered from the same place. |
