Greater London
The area of Greater London has not changed significantly since its creation. There have been a considerable number of small boundary changes. The most significant of these were the 1969 transfers of Knockholt to Kent and Farleigh to Surrey[33] and a series of minor adjustments during the 1990s which realigned the boundary to the M25 motorway in some places.

Environment
The majority of Greater London forms the London low emission zone from 4 February 2008.

Education
The education system has been split into the thirty three separate LEAs, which correspond to the City of London and the 32 London boroughs, since the 1990 enactment of the Education Reform Act 1988.[34] From 1965 to 1990, twelve Inner London boroughs and the City of London had been served by an Inner London Education Authority.[34] The introduction of comprehensive schools, directed by Circular 10/65 in 1965, was mostly followed in Greater London, however 19 grammar schools have been retained in some Outer London boroughs.[35] At GCSE and A level, Outer London boroughs have broadly better results than Inner London boroughs.[36]

Wider population
Greater London is not exactly coterminous with London's built up area and a somewhat wider Greater London Urban Area has been defined and is used for mainly statistical purposes. London's wider metropolitan area is known as the London commuter belt and is delimited by a variety of definitions.
