AFAIR no ceremonial county in what is now
modern Greater London spanned the Thames.

Kent, specifically two parts of Woolwich (i.e. North Woolwich and
another nearby bit whose name I can't recall ATM).

You're thinking of North Greenwich, in the Isle of Dogs. These enclaves
don't really count. They were consequences of the river's course changing as
the docks developed.

No, he was right. North Greenwich in the IOD was never in Kent and was
never a part of anything southern, unlike North Woolwich which was part
of Woolwich.
