 Mayor of London - Planning and Development - Strategy
With the publication of his spatial development strategy, The London Plan, in February 2004, the Mayor has put in place a strategic framework to manage the complexities of London's growth, so that all Londoners can share in its success.
Outer London plays a major role in the life of the capital and offers a high quality environment that has proved itself to be flexible and adaptable to demographic, ethnic, social and economic changes.
It illustrates what has been achieved so far for Londoners living and working in the area — such as the roll-out of Safer Transport Teams and investment in transport links — and identifies some of the challenges that will be faced by Outer London in the coming years.

 Emissions targets for 2030 will only be reached by banning cars in London
London Authority (GLA) takes radical steps, one of which could be the removal of all cars from both inner and outer London, according to a report published today.
Because most London car trips are within outer London, changes in inner London boroughs alone were not found to be sufficient to meet the GLA emissions target.
The car-free inner and outer London model was found to bring about a 72% reduction in emissions, with active transport making up 53% of all trips.

 Bartlett Planning Research
The bulk of the remainder is dispersed amongst London's dense network of suburban town centres and this element is the main concern of this research.
This is not being offset by new development which replicates past geographical distributions and the only outer London offices which are performing well are those in a few major metropolitan centres as well as a small number of large car-based techno-park type developments.
As London continues along what currently seems to be a strong growth trajectory, this information may bring us closer to predicting the circumstances in which office stock is likely to become vulnerable to pressure for change of use in the future.

 London postal district at AllExperts
The London postal districts were created solely to help sort and deliver mail and therefore rarely coincide with the boundaries of London boroughs (and were created before even the older, smaller metropolitan boroughs).
The initial system was designed to extend to roughly a 12 miles radius from the centre of London, and consequently the postal districts covered an area much larger than the County of London boundaries of 1889.
In 1965 the creation of Greater London caused London's boundary to expand to include these places officially as well as postally, however the new boundary went far beyond these postal districts to include places that were not in the London postal area.

Dee Doocey AM Assembly member Dee Doocey said: "Visit London must stop concentrating the vast majority of their resources in a few square miles of central London, so that outer London can start to reap more of the huge economic benefits of the tourist industry in the capital.
"Outer London is home to a range of attractions that are less obvious but just as worth a visit as those that central London has to offer.
The sort of attraction the London Assembly said could be promoted include Horniman Museum in Forest Hill and the Dulwich Picture Gallery both in south-east London and Syon House and Gardens in Brentford, west London in south-east London.

 London/West - Wikitravel   (Site not responding. Last check: )
West London is that part of Greater London that is located generally west of Central London and the West End (beyond Zone 1 on the Tube) and north of the River Thames.
Several riverside areas south of the Thames, such as Richmond, Kew, Putney and Barnes, although properly part of South West London are often considered natural extensions of this area based on their geography and close associations (transport, culture) with West London as a whole.
West London's obvious popularity with travellers and short- to mid-term residents (backpackers, working holiday makers, etc.) can be explained by a number of factors, not least its proximity to Heathrow International, London's largest airport, and its multiple, easy transport connections with the West End and Central London.

Then they and HarperCollins realised that the London part of the survey would give a unique view of one of the world's most famous cities, and so this book was born.
There are 74 pages of central London (Regent's Park to the South Bank, and Earls Court to Whitechapel) at 1:3000, 112 of inner London (Richmond to the Isle of Dogs, Highgate to Dulwich) at 1:6000, 96 of outer London at 1:12000, and 40 pages of cartography covering the whole of London at 1: 24000.
In central London the roofs of individual houses can be picked out easily; in inner London they are still discernible, though not so clearly; by the time you get to outer London it's more a question of finding a street.
