Introduction

The last time London had significant boundary changes was in 1965 that was almost 50 years ago now. In this blog I will attempt to make the case for further boundary change and talk about potential areas to be annexed to the capital and potential future London Boroughs.

I will be making the case that all areas inside the  M25 should join the capital as should most of what is in the Greater London Built-up Area which is pictured below.
Note that when I estimate populations of potential boroughs I am using data from here on Built-up areas as well as data on Local Authorities which can be got using this.
Also note that when London Boroughs I propose involve districts getting split the parts outside my proposed boroughs get annexed to adjacent districts.

 

What I plan to do first is talk about each potential London Borough what towns it contains as well as important sites with in it. After going through all the potential boroughs I will attempt to make the case for border reform. I may also afterwards discuss border reforms for other cities in Great Britain.
