The
County of London was formed in 1889 from parts of the ancient counties
of Middlesex, Kent and Surrey, with
the City of London remaining an independent body. In 1965 Greater
London was formed, taking in the rest of Middlesex (which no
longer existed as a county) together with parts of Essex and Hertfordshire
and further areas of Kent and Surrey.
Greater
London is made up of 13 Inner and 19 Outer London boroughs together
with the City of London.
Hackney once lay in Middlesex and is today one of
the 13 boroughs making up Inner London. It borders the City of Westminster
and the London borough of Tower Hamlets in the south with its eastern
border marked by the River Lea.
