Areas Of London
London is the capital of and largest city in England and the United Kingdom. It is administered by the Greater London Authority, City of London Corporation and 32 London boroughs. These boroughs are modern, having been created in 1965 and have a weaker sense of identity than their constituent "districts" (considered in speech, "parts of London" or more formally, "areas"). Two major factors have shaped the development of London district and sub-district identities; the ancient parish – which was used for both civil and ecclesiastical functions – and the pre-urban settlement pattern. Ancient parishes and their successors The modern London boroughs were primarily formed from amalgamations of Metropolitan, County and Municipal Boroughs. These were formed from ancient parishes (or groupings of them), with ancient parishes in turn generally based on a single manor, though many were based on more than one and a few manors were so large that they were divided into multiple pari ...

The United society, the first friendly society, began to meet in the Sun and Woolpack inn, Enfield Wash, in 1794.
