too far out of London
Given the 2019 GE results, it could be concluded that the constituencies of Ruislip, Northwood & Pinner, and Uxbridge and South Ruislip are attitudinally 'out of London',
but they share this with a couple of other London fringe constituencies.
The history of (administrative) London is successive attempts by Tory politicians to add leafy home-owning suburbs to central (Labour-voting) London.
This meant that Middlesex was totally subsumed into the GLC, and now the GLA.

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.
