message: What is with following districts in following boroughs:
*Barking and Dagenham: Castle Green (compare here: List of districts)
*Barnet: Temple Fortune, Barnet Gate (compare here: List of districts)
*Bexley: Abbey Wood, Albany Park, East Wickham, Lessness Heath, North Cray  (compare here: List of districts, navigation)
*Brent: (...)
*(...)
... this is an example of the incomplete nature of the list. S a g a  C i t y (talk) 17:37, 2 March 2014 (UTC)

replies: text: Thanks for the thought. Essentially be problem as defined is insoluble. All of England, but particularly London, is a historical mishmash of boundaries which may be ecclesiastical, manorial, juridical, for local administration, electoral, postal, sporting, planning, school catchment areas and so on. Some may seem to have vanished, while others may be estate agents' conceits or names given by developers back to Georgian times. Other may merely by the name of the nearest railway station. So there is no 'list' to work to. So it's multi-layered geography that is continually evolving. All efforts must be on a "least bad" basis. Sorry if this isn't a clear answer but it is where (and when) we are. S a g a  C i t y (talk) 10:02, 13 December 2017 (UTC)
thread_title:  Cleanup request 

message: Hello I am new to Wikipedia. I wish to conduct a small project to clean up and create some consistency in the opening paragraph of every area of London. I have noticed recently that there has been some activity, not all of it good, amongst editors on how this should be written. After reading through many of the area pages, and the discussions that have arisen from them etc. I have come to the conclusion that they should begin like so:
A is an area of B London, England, within the London Borough(s) of C (and D). It is located E miles F of Charing Cross. It lies within the Historic County of G... and so on.
Where: A is the area name, B is the compass direction from Central London (or "Central London" if the area is located there), C is the borough it is located within (D is only used if it straddles borough boundaries), E is the distance in miles from Charing Cross, and F is the direction, G is the Historic County the area was within before either of the London boundary changes.
What do people think of this? Do I have to have some kind of admin permission before I commence? Thank you. Huskion (talk) 15:06, 21 November 2017 (UTC)
thread_title:  RFC Project to cleanup the child pages of this page

message: Feels very much like an essay. Why are we comparing London to the Midlands? What has this got to do with a list of places? I was tempted to move to Geography of London or delete? MRSC (talk) 07:23, 10 February 2024 (UTC)
thread_title: Pre-urban settlement pattern

message: *Pages in category "Areas of London": 704 
*List of areas of London: 532
Some articles in the category (such as East End of London or Isle of Dogs) will should not appear in the list (or at least not in the main section). MRSC (talk) 08:01, 10 February 2024 (UTC)
