I've been trying to figure this out with my former Civil Servant head on, as I live in Surbiton at the moment. The way I see it there are two options: You go zone 1-3, as further out hasn't been as badly affected yet (7 cases in RBK officially). The problem is this is so wooly. You have to list the individual boroughs. More likely is that they'll do every borough of London, which would include Kingston and Richmond. Like Lister said, it'll be quarantine by default. My wife and I are going for walks every day (something outside that keeps us away from people) and while Kingston town centre is dead, there are runners everywhere!

SuperBacon Posted March 19, 2020 Author Share Posted March 19, 2020 This could be a discussion for another day, but I'm guessing all Royal Boroughs of are considered London. Tbh, growing up in Hounslow, I never ever considered it London. Same going to school in Twickenham/Richmond. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members PunkStep Posted March 19, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted March 19, 2020 Anything within the North & South circ I'd consider London personally. Within the M25 I'd class as Greater London. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah, that's not true, as Windsor and Maidenhead is a royal borough.  The 32 boroughs are what they'll probably do. I know people have different views on what counts (grew up by Hampton court, worked for London borough of Hounslow for a bit, and then a few years at RBK, so I've seen all sorts of arguments), but the government doesn't. Edited March 19, 2020 by Duke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a jaded wrestling fan, it's been years since I've marked out, but seeing my home settlement mentioned here has just done it! You can hear that motorway from my parents'. (Well, I can't because I don't know any differently, but my better half reports that it's deafening.) Edit: That reads as though I'm the stereotypical fat 40-something wrestling fan who lives with his parents and has invented a girlfriend, doesn't it?

Paid Members Fatty Facesitter Posted March 19, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted March 19, 2020 (edited) It's clearly Essex. Why else would they call them London Stansted and London Southend Airports? Come on. Edited March 19, 2020 by Fatty Facesitter s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Hannibal Scorch Posted March 19, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted March 19, 2020 London Boroughs of Redbridge and Havering are Essex. Grays, Thurrock, Billericay etc are outside of London as not in London Boroughs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loki Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 If they do quarantine London (and they’ll try that before anything more nationwide) I wonder if they’ll move government out of London or down into the emergency bunker underneath Westminster?

I'm OK with it. It's on the District Line. If it's on the Tube, it's in London, with the exceptions of the stations that are in Zones that used to be lettered instead of numbered (like Amersham and Chalfont & Latimer). It's on the absolute cusp, but it's London as far as I'm concerned. Let's face it, though - London's expanding, and in about ten years, the GLA will have to call an emergency meeting to discuss how to stop Luton getting in.

Keith Houchen Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 Are people around you racist? If yes - not London. If not - London.  I thought we’d established this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
