Greater London (County), England, UK

Greater London came into being on 1st April 1965, the amalgamation of the County of London (today's "Inner London") and the whole county of Middlesex with portions of land from the surrounding counties of Essex, Hertfordshire, Kent, and Surrey (today's "Outer London"). For historical reasons, the much smaller City of London is treated as a separate county.

The historical County of London was itself created on 21st March 1889, from metropolitan areas of Middlesex, Surrey, and Kent.

Greater London is divided into 32 boroughs, 12 inner and 20 outer, which were also created on 1st April 1965. These are:
Inner: Camden, Greenwich, Hackney, Hammersmith and Fulham, Islington, Kensington and Chelsea, Lambeth, Lewisham, Southwark, Tower Hamlets, Wandsworth, Westminster.
Outer: 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.
