 9/ London has evolved, and with it the maddening complexity of its "Greater London" is 32 local authority districts. Confusingly this includes the City of Westminster, but not the City of London (why many admin maps of London have a hole at the center). Some are "Royal" boroughs, some are not. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/London_boroughs The boroughs typically have only minimal correspondence to things like postcode areas, police districts, etc. 5 comments
11/ London is sometimes still referred to as "The Big Smoke", a reference to the terrible pollution of the past, but these days the city is quite green 50% of London is covered in green space, and an incredible 8 million trees are dotted across the capital. In 2019, it was officially declared a National Park City. 16/ Ahh wait if you want to learn more about Geomob London (or other cities) please follow @geomob The next London event will be on July 3rd as part of London Data Week.

10/ The City of London - traditionally marked by dragon boundary posts - is run by a corporation, though there is no surviving record of a charter first establishing the Corporation as a legal body.

Of course the Corporation does not have general authority over the Middle Temple and the Inner Temple, two of the four "Inns of Court"
It is odd historical exceptions ALL the way down.
