South London is the southern part of London, England. The area it covers is defined differently for a range of purposes. At its widest extent, South London is the part of Greater London that is south of the River Thames. This includes the historic central areas of Southwark and Bankside and maritime Greenwich. The area has little of the London Underground network, but has a much more extensive suburban railway system than North London[1] and is the location of all of London's tram services. This area is made up of the London boroughs of Bexley, Bromley, Croydon, Greenwich, Kingston, Lambeth, Lewisham, Merton, Southwark, Sutton and Wandsworth. This definition is used by the Boundary Commission for England.[2] The London Borough of Richmond upon Thames includes sections on both sides of the River Thames and the boundary commission class the entire district as part of South London.[2] In 1965 Greenwich, Lambeth, Lewisham, Southwark and Wandsworth were designated Inner London boroughs and Bexley, Bromley, Croydon, Kingston, Merton and Sutton were designated Outer London boroughs.[3] For the purposes of the London Plan, there was a South London sub-region in operation from 2004 to 2008 consisting of Bromley, Croydon, Kingston, Merton, Richmond and Sutton.[4] In 2001 this area had a population of 1,329,000.[5] This definition is used by organisations such as Connexions.[6] In 2008 it was replaced with a South East sub-region consisting of Southwark, Lewisham, Greenwich, Bexley and Bromley and a South West sub-region consisting of Croydon, Lambeth, Merton, Sutton, Kingston, Richmond and Wandsworth.[7] Aside from the official definitions, South London refers to areas south of Central London and the River Thames. This area overlaps the informal Central, South East and South West London areas. Some of these districts are included in the South Eastern and South Western postcode areas. This area is included in all or part of the following boroughs, listed with postcode areas, direction from Charing Cross (the nominal centre of London), sub-region they are part of for planning purposes, and London Assembly constituencies

November 19, 2009
Lancashire does not always generally come to the mind as a centre for cultural and artistic excellence when compared to other areas of the UK.

This may have something to do with the well known provincial furniture maker, Robert Gillow, who worked out of Lancaster in the 18th century. Although Gillow’s furniture was considered artisan and provincial at the time, in comparison to the f... (read more)
