London had a number of different boundaries which rarely coincided. London County Council was set up in 1888, its boundaries enclose what are now the Inner London boroughs, and what was the Inner London Education Authority in the days of the Greater London Council. The Metropolitan Police District was set up by statute. Its area was wider than the old LCC, but it did/does not match the GLC area. The London postal districts covered the LCC and beyond, which included parts of Surrey, Kent, Essex and Middlesex. The London postal districts are numbered in the alphabetical order of the post offices, much of the built-up area of the East End was in the County of Essex, but with a London postal address - Walthamstow (E17) is another example.
