Where do you think the edge of London is?

Inside the Greenbelt

And like a true NIMBY it is under threat.

As per the other thread, my definition was that once you started seeing hedges you had left London.

These days I can vote in mayoral elections, Bromley is both London and Kent for some long boring reason...so I'm still in London despite the hedgerows.

A simple one is phone number based. Any phone number beginning 020 is London. So Kingston is in but Havering (I think) is out.

If you're still using landlines then you aren't a Londoner I'd recognise....

The edge of London is up its own arse, along with the rest of it.

Within the m25

It's nowhere near me. I live closer to Dublin than London.

The TfL zoning map is a good option. But only within Zone 5.
There are lots of Londoners who would consider anything outside of Zone 2 as the sticks.

 

[Levo-Lon]

I thought London was a square mile..the rest is just greater London.
Same as Manchester and greater Manchester..

Easy answer, where ever @Markymark can travel to without breaking into a cold sweat.

Isn't there a wall or electrified fence patrolled by serious people with land sharks?

 

[Joey Shabadoo]

London isn't a place, it's a state of mind.

 

[Brandane]

Anyone have an interesting definition of London?

Well; yes - but this is a family site .

 

[Markymark]

Nope.

Lets also remember that the people who make London the capital; the politicians, the bankers, the businessmen, the theatrical entrepeneurs don't actually live there, they live in the home counties because they are too rich and too smart to reside in that smog ridden, overcrowded, poverty laden hell hole. Even the Queen only stays there when necessary.

Obviously I'm not London bashing

Do they? Not usually from what I see. A massive amount of multi million pound houses and flats are occupied by whom? A quick walk around Canary Wharf, Notting hill, Kensington, Hampstead, Holland Park etc etc will tell you otherwise.

Like many geographical descriptors (see the claim that Scotland is the most beautiful country) "London" is fuzzy. The boundaries of political London are clearly drawn (either at the edge of the London Boroughs or the edge of the Corporation of the City of London), but political geography isn't the only geography.

My favourite physical definition is the one used by the census folk (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greater_London_Built-up_Area#), which includes Guildford, Harlow and St Albans.

Or Croke Park.
Good effort though.
