Outer London

Outer London is the name for the parts of Greater London that are not in Inner London. Initially these were those areas which were not part of the old County of London but which have only been considered part of London since 1965, plus North Woolwich. The position is now less clear, as the census and other statistical classifications use a different definition.

Historical population
Please note: Figures here are for the Office for National Statistics defined Outer London (in its 2001 limits), whose land area is 1,254 km² (484 sq. miles). Figures before 1971 have been reconstructed by the Office for National Statistics based on past censuses in order to fit the 2001 limits. Figures from 1981 onward are midyear estimates (revised as of 2004), which are more accurate than the censuses themselves, known to underestimate the population of London.
