The longest Tube journey is on the Central Line, West Ruislip to
Epping, at 54.9 km (34.1 miles).

Although 11km or so are not in London but in the Epping Forest district of
Essex.

When this newsgroup was set up we discussed at great length what the
definition of "London" was. I'm pretty sure we decided that it included
inside the M25 plus all outposts of LUL.

I very much doubt the OP was using that definition.

Well, this is uk.transport.LONDON, and we have this definition of
"London"...

Does that mean we're not allowed to discuss the London Regional Rail
Authority?

Incidentally, can anyone find a copy of the proposed LRRA boundary map?
It's disappeared from TfL's site.

Maybe you could get a consensus to change the definition. When the
newsgroup was set up, it seemed important to include more than just the
administrative London, or more than just the "020" phone area, and even
more than "inside the M25". But you do have to stop somewhere.

Nope. There's a charter here [1] which stops a long way from either.
Although journeys with one end in London seem to qualify (eg Gatwick to
Richmond).
