The underground issue is a bid off-topic. Perhaps we should make a new group.

Just to brag a little bit: I was employed by London Transport in 1988-1990. Had a free travel pass and did all sorts of things like seeing all stations.

Copenhagen is also building a Metro at the moment.

Just to bring it back to boundaries: Those who have a good street atlas of London, go check the boundary between Eppimg Forest and Epping in the King George's Reservoir.
