Until recent times there was no connection (apart from its innermost
boundary with the capital city) between the Metropolitan Police
District and local authority areas. It was based on rough proximity to
Charing Cross to deal with matters within the metropolis.

Actually, the Metropolitan Police District did correspond to a set of
pre-1965 local authorities, but they got reorganised in 1965 (within
Greater
London) and 1974 (elsewhere).

I think they retreated from places like Esher (Surrey) much more recently
than that.

and Epsom as well

Greater London Authority Act 1999, it seems
