The river is not in the right place. It bisects Richmond

'Brn' is a poor choice of code for Barnet, because it could mean Brent, or even Barking & Dagenham.

'Wth' instantly says 'Wandsworth' to me

It misrepresents the borders between boroughs, which is a bit of a problem. For example, Southwark borders directly with Greenwich. But I don’t think you could get the borders right like this, since some boroughs have more than four neighbours. Perhaps hexagons could work.

You may find this page - and slightly different version - interesting:

Actually Lewisham is between Greenwich and Southwark so it is essentially correct at this location. The meander of the river is partly in Greenwich and partly in Lewisham but it is only diagrammatic.

I sense the map designer got bored dealing with the west / south west.
Straightening the river there leaves oddities like Richmond not being across the river from Hounslow even though it is in the Barnes area. Likewise Wandsworth is across the river from Hammersmith & Fulham ( surely the abbreviations should have been H&F and K&C ) in Putney and Wandsworth.

Oh and I forgot to mention...
Kingston is on the river.
Or not if you believe this IMHO rubbish map!

less ambiguous 3 letter codes would help, as witness the confusion in one of the other comments threads between Kingston (Kns) and Kensington (Kng)
Suggest the first three letters will do for most boroughs. For the two pairs of duplicates Bat and Bkg (or B&D), and Hrw/Hgy.
The river is in the right place - but it's not shown upstream of Hammersmith Bridge

I'm happy to be no longer rubbing shoulders with Boris' Borough!
Less happy to be booted from above Ealing to Brent though!

I hope the map isn't being used seriously. Half of LSH is in GRN!

We all want to know, though, does Hdn react with Bar in an ionic solution?

Not happy that it's put Rotherhithe, which is in Southwark, within a combination of Tower Hamlets, No Man's Land, and Lewisham.

Pretty sure Havering (Hvg) has a border with the Thames...but without being picky, love the simplicity of the map!

In response to Anon Havering is on the river

There actually is an official set of three-letter codes for London boroughs found in ISO 3166-2, which gives codes to the subdivisions of every country.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_3166-2:GB
They're a bit more esoteric because they've got to avoid colliding with every other county and local authority in the UK.
