	London, city, England. The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition. 2001-05
		Greater London includes the area of the former county of London, most of the former county of Middlesex, and areas that were formerly in Surrey, Kent, Essex, and Hertfordshire.
		Medieval London saw the foundation of the Inns of Court and the construction of Westminster Abbey.
		During the Victorian era, London acquired tremendous prestige as the capital of the British Empire and as a cultural and intellectual center.

	Greater London Authority - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		This current organisation to some extent replaces the Greater London Council (1965-1986), which was abolished by Conservative prime minister Margaret Thatcher on grounds of alleged inefficiency, but also because elected Labour Party members were commonly in the majority, and in particular because of Livingstone's then radical populist policies and spending on social programmes.
		One of the primary purposes of the London Assembly is to hold the Mayor of London to account, and to scrutinise their actions and decisions.
		The Greater London Authority should be distinguished from the Corporation and Lord Mayor of the City of London, which only control the square mile of the city, London's chief financial centre.

		The London Assembly is also the only elected body to provide independent monitoring of the Mayor's provision of transport in the capital.
		For example, Assembly Members were successful in persuading the Mayor to delay the introduction of Congestion Charging until the technology was thoroughly tested and extra staff were employed to handle queries; these recommendations contributed to one of the smoothest start-ups of any public sector initiative for many years.
		Assembly Members, also sit on the board of the London Development Agency, which works with business to sustain and improve the capital as a business centre and increase economic opportunities for Londoners.

	London Green Party
		Green Party Assembly Member Jenny Jones, has renewed her call for 20mph to be the standard speed limit on residential roads in London, following a MORI survey* commissioned by the Mayor of London, showing that: 60 per cent of people supported the introduction of a 20mph speed limit on residential streets.
		The Greens on the London Assembly have welcomed Bob Kiley's view that the use of tags in cars could allow congestion charging to be used to unclog the north and south circular, and other London pinch points within a few years.
		The Green Party members of the London Assembly were one of the main groups who formally objected to the Mayor's plans to build the Thames Gateway Bridge and have therefore welcomed the decision by the Secretary of State to call in the application.

	Guardian \| London assembly approves capital tax hike
		The mayor of London, Ken Livingstone, was today given the go-ahead to add an extra £23 to the capital's average council tax bills to fund improvements in policing and transport.
		The assembly last month threatened to use that power to force the mayor to radically cut back his initial budget proposals, which called for an increase of 35% in his share of the council tax - a hike of £53 on band D council tax, which covers homes of average value in the capital.
		The assembly was split over the size of the mayor's budget, with Labour and the Liberal Democrats backing the 15% rise and the Conservatives calling for further cuts.
