Ely Place in Holborn was an exclave of Cambridgeshire until 1965.

I'm not sure if any of Bucks or Berks made it in.. certainly not
much.

None at all.

Not initially, although a very small part of Buckinghamshire in the
Heathrow area got annexed in 1994, to align the boundary with the M25.

At the time Greater London was created, it didn't even have a border
with Berkshire. That border was only created when Colnbrook was
transferred to Slough in 1995.
