'The Royal Commission on Local Government in Greater London 1957-60'. Lots of maps and details for all you local government nerds ... alondoninheritance.com/london-books...
The Royal Commission on Local Government in Greater London 1957-60 paved the way for the Greater London Council. Many of the themes in the report are the same today, as they were over 60 years ago.

Thanks, that’s interesting. I live in what might have become the London Borough of Banstead, but eventually didn’t make the cut. I suspect London would now be a more Tory-friendly city if its boundaries had been expanded further into commuter country.
Sending thanks from a London local government nerd who has now settled in with a cup of tea to read this for the next hour! Never knew the original review boundary extended so far into Hertfordshire.
