More generally, though, given that a local government district frequently consists of a town with its surrounding countryside, it's not really surprising that some rural areas end up in Greater London; if the town is taken into London the countryside will be too. But this seems to have happened less in Surrey than anywhere else.
On another topic, this borough presents a special challenge to the 'what should we call it?' question, combining as it does two former districts with four names between them. (City Metric says 'Coulsdon', but as we've established before, that's a guess.) Sometimes in cases like this they go for something that was not the name of one of the previous districts, as with Havering, I suppose so as to avoid the appearance of favouritism. Any ideas?
