	Greater London - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The term "London" is usually used in reference to Greater London or to the urban conurbation, not to the tiny City of London at its centre (which is usually styled as "the City" or "the Square Mile").
		Greater London was formally created by the London Government Act 1963, which took force on 1 April 1965, replacing the former administrative counties of Middlesex and London, adding the City, which was not under the London County Council, and absorbing parts of Kent, Hertfordshire, Surrey, and Essex.
		The Greater London Council was abolished in 1986 under the government of Margaret Thatcher, with some of its functions devolved to the Corporation and the boroughs, and others reverting to central government.

		There were 14 city council seats elected from one-seat constituencies that are, by definition, "winner-take-all." To correct any distortions in those elections, however, there were 11 seats elected from party lists to make the 25-member city council reflect the party vote.

	Statement by Harvey Hinds, Chairman, Greater London Council at the meeting of the Special Committee against Apartheid ...
		The Greater London Council knows that racism and the evil discrimination which flows from it are matters which require changes of heart and head, changes of deep-seated, long-standing attitudes, based on ignorance and fear in great part, and that such changes in attitudes take time and effort.
		Thus, on 9 January 1984 the Greater London Council was host to a distinguished delegation of representatives from the United Nations, the front-line States, High Commissioners of Commonwealth Governments, the African National Congress and the Anti-Apartheid Movement.
		The GLC, as a major city with a large multi-ethnic population, is aware of its own problems arising from racism - and is seeking to deal with them, as it also seeks to give a lead to other large cities to deal with them similarly.
