This is a list of boundary changes occurring in theLondonregion of England, since the re-organisation of local government following the passing of theLondon Government Act 1963.

Administrative boundaries[edit]

Adjustments permitted by the London Government Act 1963[edit]

Greater London was created by combining whole existing units of local government and it was anticipated that this might provide an arbitrary boundary in some places.[1]The London Government Act 1963 Section 6 (4) provided a mechanism for communities on the edge of Greater London to petition for transfer to a neighbouring county. The legislation required the petition to be submitted between 1965 and 1970, to be signed by more than 300 local electors and for the area to be transferred to have no more than 10% of the borough's local electors.[2]These were completed in 1969 as the transfers ofKnockholtto Kent, and ofFarleighandHooleyto Surrey. Section 6 (3) of the act allowed for transfers between Greater London and neighbouring counties where there was consensus for the change between all the relevant local authorities. This power was used to exchange two islands on theRiver Thamesthat were connected to the river bank by bridges on the opposite side of the river to their respective counties.Thames Ditton Islandwas transferred to Surrey from Greater London andPlatts Eyotwas transferred the other way.[3]

In 2010, it was suggested that an extension of the boundary to includeElmbridgewas being considered.[87]
