  1. No it’s not, this is where the London postcode area ends. It’s still in the London borough of Kingston Upon Thames, not Surrey

  2. No it’s just where the postcode changes

    The entirety of the Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames is in London.

    Both of these street signs are in Kingston and therefore they are in London.

  3. I had an American friend point this out and he wasn’t wrong – it IS kind of mad how road names change mid-road.

    “Oh yeah from this arbitrary point it is leadenhall” or whatever.

  5. …Except it’s not?

    At least not since April 1st, 1965.

    If it were 31st March 1965 however, this would’ve been a … _slightly_ more meaningful observation.

    And i really mean _slightly_.

  6. Yet another clueless OP betraying their ignorance, no doubt going round rabbiting this pretentious mistake across their various social streams

  10. People say the same about Thornton Heath when it so clearly isn’t lol
