A letter from LondonDear Katya There are 33 London Boroughs Brent , Barnet , Camden , Westminster , Kensington & Chelsea ,
Hammersmith & Fulham, Ealing, Harrow , Barking & Dagenham, Bexley , Bromley , City of London ,
Croydon , Enfield , Greenwich ,Hackney , Haringey , Havering , Hillingdon , Hounslow , Islington ,
Kingston upon Thames , Lambeth , Lewisham , Merton, Newham , Redbridge , Richmond upon Thames ,
Southwark , Sutton, Tower Hamlets, Waltham Forest, Wandsworth It is worth inputting "place names of Surrey" and "place names of Middlesex" into
Google and having a look at what comes up as most of the London Boroughs were once part of Surrey or Middlesex. (Possibly a few were part of Kent also.)
Good luck with the projectYours sincerely,Lucy Tann
