dg nods: Checking the number of comments today and yesterday, yep, maybe H&C and K&F was a good idea.
Before the LCC, it was on the boundary between Kent & Surrey, then the LCC was added to the mix.
That meant the Metropolitan Boroughs of Lambeth, Camberwell & Lewisham, + Upper Norwood(Croydon - Surrey), Penge, Beckenham (Kent).
Now it is the L.B.s of Lambeth, Southwark, Lewisham, Croydon and Bromley that come together around here, but precisely how many come together at the same point I leave to others.
There are some very near misses, but no actual quadruple point as far as I am aware.
- the closest is Southwark/lambeth/Bromley, at the junction of Crystal Palace Parade and Farquahar Road, and Southwark/Croydon/Bromley, about 100 yards south at the junction of CPP, Anerley Hill and Westow Hill. Half a mile away, at the other end of the Parade, at the junctoin of Sydenham Hill, is the triple point of Southwark/Lewisham/Bromley. Thus you can walk along one side of Crystal Palace Parade and pass through lewisham, Southwark, Lambeth and Croydon, and walk back along the other side in Bromley!
Some other near misses
Lambeth/Southwark/City/Westminster: in the Thames between Waterloo and Blackfriars Bridges
Camden/Westminster/City (junction of Chancery Lane and Carey Street) and Camden/Islington/City (junction of Charethouse Street and Farringdon Road) about 400 yards.
Richmond/Wandsworth/Kingston and Merton/Wandsworth/Kingston: about 500 metres apart, near the Robin Hood roundabout on the A3
Kingston/Merton/Sutton and Kingston//Sutton/Epsom-&-Ewell: less than 1km apart near Worcester Park station.
There is a county quadruple point (Cambridgeshire/Lincs/Northants/Rutland) on the A1 Stamford bypass at the point it crosses the railway line and a backwater of the River Welland. Anyone attempting to stand in four counties at once risks being run over by a lorry, or by a train, or getting their feet wet!
