Outer London

Outer London is the name given to a whole of districts of London located around the center of London, called Inner London . This zone gathers territories which did not form part of the Comté of London and which were included with the Large London in 1965. North Woolwich is however an exception because this place belonged to the county of London but was transferred to Newham in 1965.

The definition is however a little less clear today partly due to the fact that two different definitions are retained for the census or other statistical data.

The Outer London is composed of Barking and Dagenham, Barnet, Bexley, Brent, Bromley, Croydon, Ealing, Enfield, Haringey, Harrow, Havering, Hillingdon, Hounslow, Kingston upon Thames, Merton, Newham, Redbridge, Richmond upon Thames, Sutton, Waltham Forest.
