Greenwich is incorrectly placed on this image. At that point the next Borough is still Lewisham. Also to the south is the Borough of Croydon, not Bromley. 193.195.196.190 (talk) 14:09, 4 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

There's probably not much point in replying to a 12-year-old comment... Nevertheless, for the record, Bromley is actually correctly placed: there is a shared boundary between Southwark and Bromley along Crystal Palace Parade. Croydon, on the other hand, does not share a boundary with Southwark (as there's a wedge of Lambeth between the two), although it is very close by (but too far south to be included on this map). Regarding Greenwich, you are quite right about it being incorrectly placed; indeed, it has no business being on this map at all.
More concerning, to my mind, is the rather arbitary selection and definition of the areas featured in the map. Are the boundaries shown based on anything other than the author's personal perceptions (e.g. are they area committees that were used at some point in the past by Southwark council)? --Herbaltablet (talk) 14:59, 12 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
