Was never London anyway, as far as I'm concerned.

Boundary of the East End used to be the river Lea up until 1965. Anywhere east of there was Essex, including West Ham. Arguably it was never an East End club and was always an Essex club. 

Personally I never got the affiliation with Essex that people feel in what is now East London. Also their repellence towards the idea of themselves as Londoners. But perhaps that's because unlike all my family who were born east of the river Lea, I was born in Hackney. So I have the opposite sentiments despite spending a good deal of my formative years in Essex proper.

Anything east of the Roding is Essex to me.

Canning Town wasn't London until the 1960s, Its all about post codes. I live in Barking its an IG  because and L could because mistaken for something else so its for Ilford sorting office a mile down E1 is Whitechapel sorting office

The sentient people of Havering will not want to give up their freedom passes so don’t automatically assume there will be a majority voting to leave and become part of Essex.

And what sticks in the craws of older people in Havering is where they live being called east London.

I like Upminster as it doesn't feel like part of London...no mosques/Asylum seekers or crackerheads....if l wanted that I'll move to Broxbourne 

Yeah Upminster always felt like more like Loughton/Chigwell, which are not London despite being on the tube.

you aint half dumb joyo son. zero mosques in broxbourne or the surrounding.

looks like they're building a nice big mosque within a couple of miles of you. On top of the couple you have down the road already.
at least you'll both have something in common (abusing underage girls).
