too far out of London.
I still had to pay the Greater London Council Tax levy to subsidise your Olympics.
When the County of Middlesex was subsumed into the GLC,
London spread from the Colne in the west, (the next river valley over,
from the Glory of Ruislip situated in the Pinn Valley) to the Lea in the east.However, had the original plans for the Central Line been adopted,
it would have proceeded through West Ruislip,
to a halt at Harvil Road, (for Harefield),
then onto Denham Green , Denham Golf Course,
(now operated by the Chiltern Line commuter services),
and presumably other Buckinghamshire villages on the way to High Wycombe.
These undeniably would have been 'out of London'.

Well as an East London resident who has been known to fall asleep on several late night transport services I'm a little happy to know I won't end up too far out of London. Though it may be a warm welcome to wake up in the magesty of Ruislip at dawn rather than a quick and easy trip to my bed.
