As the East End is actually outside the city boundary and is the name given to the parishes/villages east of the city, the West End, logically, ought to be too. So it makes sense that it covers an area from St Giles to Mayfair.

Old: Horse with wheels. Museum of London.
New: Er, on our way to it now (is that allowed?)

Of course, provided nobody tagzumps you before you get there. It's generally clevererer to bag both tags first and not to alert anyone. :)

How is riding with a loaded carradice that isn't strapped to the post? I always strap mine to, but wonder how necessary it is. Doesn't it swing something chronic?

Looks like its on a bagman or some other support.

I did the classic Blade Runner zoom enhance but could see nothing. Do I need the 2049 upgrade package?

You can just about see the bagman's silvery tubes but the real giveaway is that no carradice holds it's shape and sits up like that unsupported.

It's on a bagman. The one that Carrdice don't make anymore because it's not fit for purpose. Which is why this one is reinforced with loads of Araldite and bungee cords.

Last time I tagged there, it was technically a retag.
3rd at that location so far.
It comes down to how 'London' has been defined throughout the ages. Throughout history, when people mentioned London they were always referring to the City of London, and anything outside of the city walls was an additional enclave. It's around 1889 that Greater London and the Metropolitan Board of Works become a thing – later developing into Greater London boroughs – but London is still just the City.
As the population of the boroughs grow and local government changes, what is technically Greater London is often referred to as simply 'London', therefore why it's confusing that the West End (the western-most edge of the City) appears in the middle of 'London'.
