For someone who has lived and worked in London for 10 years I found this harder than I thought I would. Its amazing how little we refer to the boroughs even though of course I have heard of all of them. - Good quiz.

Interesting that all the north east boroughs are the lowest known on this quiz. I wonder what the science is behind that?!

Got a lot of them simply from football clubs. Dag & Red, Fulham, Chelsea, West Brom, etc.

Weird since there is no London Borough of Fulham, and West Brom is in the West Midlands. If you mean West Ham, that club is in Newham. Indeed the great majority of London's clubs are in differently named boroughs.

Yeah, I was mistaken on where West Brom was from, but Fulham is an accepted type-in for the borough of Hammersmith and Fulham.

Yes, I have the same problem with the display... The map covers the columns of answers completely (except for the far right hand one, which it only covers partially), some of the timer and the answer box and I can only see some of the pause button but none of the others next to it.

So, the City of London is not a London Borough but the City of Westminster is a London Borough?

Yes, the City of London has always been designated as a separate county from Greater London, ever since the concept of a Greater London was invented.

Technically the City of London is a separate (semi-autonomous) state! They have their own police force and mayor, for example. Also you'll notice a major contrast between CoL and the London surrounding it - particularly with the architectural styles.

Arsenal team is named after Woolwich Arsenal, where the team used to be based. The football ground moved north of the river but kept the latter part of their name.

Still not totally convinced that there is anywhere in London called Hillingdon. I'm going to have to look it up. But I suspect even then I won't be convinced.

I think a lot of the confusion in the questions stems from London being made up of so many different types of place - old towns and villages folded into the London conurbation with their own distinct high streets and neighbourhoods that emerged around particular markets, thoroughfares and train stations.

And layered onto that are boroughs, which are really just administrative divisions of the Greater London county, and other splits like parliamentary constituencies and local council wards.

So you might know about Whitechapel or Stepney as distinct areas but not know they're in the London borough of Tower Hamlets and the parliamentary constituency of Bethnal Green & Bow.
