London or Middlesex???????

I come from Ealing originaly, I always new it as Greater London

If you are in a London Borough or in the cities of Westminster or London, that counts as London. If you are not in a London Borough, you win. And don't bet £100 on trivialities in future!

Middlesex is one of the 39 historic counties of England and was the second smallest (after Rutland). When county councils were introduced in England in 1889 part of Middlesex was used to form the County of London and the remainder formed the administrative county of Middlesex. By 1965 urban London had further expanded and almost all of the original area was incorporated into Greater London. Middlesex is still used informally as an area name and may be included in some postal addresses.

Feltham is both Middlesex AND London I suppose...yes, it retains a Middlesex postcode, but thats only just for the Post Office's own needs, not any other reason. Otherwise, Middlesex no longer formally exists..so actually NOWHERE is really in Middlesex anymore. But Feltham is within the London Borough of Hounslow for all its administration...and that DEFINITELY makes it part of Greater London.

Middlesex no longer exists officially. However, a great many people still add Middx or Middlesex to their address or an address when they are writing. Feltham is indeed in Middlesex and not in London. However, from the TW postcode I think it best to assume that Feltham now comes under Twickenham [Twickers]. The debate about the Greater London boundary will rage on for years to come. Some claim, as I do, that the M25 is the boundary. However, those folk living just inside the M25 and between it and the Greenbelt, claim they live outside London. We will see. London is going to have to expand outwards anyway in order to make available the number of new houses now being demanded.

feltham is in GREATER london but i say always would say in middlesex because it is the county it is in...mostly all of the towns in greater london are in middlesex (i think) but those actually in central london would be said to be in 'london' not 'middlesex'...i wouldn't think the M25 had anything to do with it because i go into kingston-upon-thames regularly and we don't come anywhere near the M25 but kingston is in surrey...hope my rambling helped in some way... oh, and i suppose counties are of no use anymore to most people but places are often still refered to by their counties as to their location and are useful in many ways

Middlesex hasn't existed as an independent entity since the sixties (about the same time that finsbury merged with islington and shoreditch merged with hackney) Curiously enough, middlesex used to extend into most of inner london until the 1850's (including most of present day Islington, with the exception of clerkenwell and finsbury which were then part of london)
