I deliberated on how I should define London as it now embraces a wide geographical region. Purists may argue against my approach but I opted for the metropolitan boroughs that, combined with the City of London, formed the areas controlled by the newly-created London County Council in 1889. So, anything outside of these areas but within the area of Greater London, created in 1965, will feature in the counties section. For example, Newham can be found in Essex, along with places like Barking and Dagenham.

"While cycling in Kennington Road on Saturday afternoon a young fellow attempted to pass between a heavily-laden coal cart and a train going in the direction of Westminster Bridge. A heavy shower of rain having made the road slippery, his wheels skidded. He was thrown right under the hoofs of the horses attached to the coal van, and one of the animals stepped on his chest, and when medical aid arrived life was extinct. Some cards on the body bore the name Charles Whitelow, but no address."
