Talk:Geography of London

Page contents not supported in other languages.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

==Untitled== hello and welcome to wikipedia hope you have fun This page is less detailed than the matching sections of London. Therefore it should either be expanded or deleted.

This is no longer the case, though it still needs a lot of work. Oliver Chettle 14:42, 30 Apr 2005 (UTC)
This page should be expanded so that the main London article can be shrunk in size. David

IMO the main problem with this (as in many similar articles) is that the term Geography has not been considered properly, so that there is so much missing. The WIKI article on Geography lists the areas as: physical geography; human geography; environmental geography; geomatics; regional geography; and related fields. This article only refers to the first, and even then only marginally. Peter Shearan 14:20, 5 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

As an extension of the above remarks, and looking through the article as it stands, I have the following further comments on its factual basis:

Rivers: The River Thames article lists some 40 rivers, although all of them are tributaries of the Thames itself. Why is this one so selective?
Islands in the Thames: Neither the Isle of Dogs nor the Isle of Grain are true islands today.
Hills: An even more selective list! If, as the article states, they are "roughly circular" why are they not listed in consecutive order - ie starting, say, from the north and travelling round in a clockwork direction? In any case, basic geography, as I learnt it in school, shows that London lies within a bowl of chalk hills - Chilterns in the north and the North Downs in the south. To take just a few of the heights is not geography, but tourism ... Peter Shearan 14:41, 5 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Definitely rather thin and listy. I'll have a go at improving it. Pterre (talk) 21:00, 8 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Would this article be the appropriate home for a list and discussion of definitions of London? (Greater London Area, London commuter belt, London Travel to Work Area, etc...) Omicron18 (talk) 14:18, 27 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
