I live in Bexley but have an SE9 postcode. Am I a stateless person?ThreadKiller said:Bexley and Bromley both Kent.
Just a different mindset from these people to Londoners
As an aside, when registered my daughter's birth, I put my place of birth down as Woolwich and the registrar recorded it as Woolwich, Greenwich. I said that I wasn't born in the Borough of Greenwich but the Metropolitan Borough of Woolwich and he said it didn't matter, it was in Greenwich now.0 -
I used to live in SE9, Eltham, Greenwich0

As an ex London postie it was always kent London borough but kent postal district0

Penge - borough of Bromley, London postcode. Best of both worlds... ;-)0

On the one hand, London is the best city in England.
On the other hand, Kent is one of, if not the, best counties in England.
Best of both if you ask me! Some good beers from both too!0 -

The view was of scrubby wasteland, an oily council depot, a line of pylons, derelict allotments, and an encampment of pikeys.
Downham is north Bromley, it even has the same post code but is part of Lewisham for political reasons.nolly said:Downham is london as you come very alike to Blue and deptford and mainly made up of those people back in the day along with big irish community but i always see Bromley and Bickley etc as kent as do not share the same history. I went school in Downham my first flat i lived in as a kid was Downham , christened in a Downham Church, my dad is from Downham , sadly lost its charm these days
If you were to drive from central London to Kent as a tourist via Bromley you would assume that you entered Kent when you hit the countryside. You would have no idea that you technically have already entered Kent.
Penge isn't the best of both worlds FFS!!

I think Palarse consider the Borough as a catchment area, so can't be London.AFKABartram said:Surrey

Charlton is more East London than south.........Fact.
Look at a map.0 -
Postcodes are very dated and do not reflect London boundaries. Bromley & Bexley are both in London. The fact that they are London boroughs makes this whole debate fall on its arse.
In no way is it a subjective thing either.0 -

Really not sure what the debate is here, they both became part of London in 1965. They are as much London as Greenwich for example, which was in Kent up until the latter part of the 19th century. The Kent address exists purely for convenience, would take far too much time and money to make that big a change to the postal service for no apparent gain, other than stupid discussion like this would be less frequent (though probably not eradicated completely).

Ha ha! I pointed out the very simple and incontrovertible distinction between London and Kent about 40 postings ago, and no-one took a blind bit of notice!randy andy said:

"I've got a DArtord or BRomley postcode and my address is Kent, so I live in Kent etc...."
It's not about your postcode or postal address it's about your local government, local police and fire brigade etc.and above all boundaries. London is huge, get over it and be proud to live in the greatest city in the world.0 -
Kent for me0

It must be Kent otherwise a Bromley address would be Bromley, Kent, London.0

We are currently doing a roll out programme for all post sites in the UK, the PO do not use postcodes for their site locations.PopIcon said:Postcodes are very dated and do not reflect London boundaries.
