Part of LB Barnet (the sharp bit a the top) got moved
to Hertfordshire 5-7 years ago.

Barnet acquired a small part of Herts close to Barnet Church at the same
time. I haven't been able to find a web page detailing the changes.

I think these changes were implemented by The Greater London and
Hertfordshire (County Boundaries) Order 1992, which is available online at
http://www.hmso.gov.uk/si/si1992/Uksi_19921696_en_1.htm

There have been many similar orders making minor boundary changes elsewhere
in London. Search on Google for:

site:www.hmso.gov.uk boundaries "london borough"

(or replace "london borough" by the borough you are interested in).

Looking at an old A-Z it looks like there were a couple of roads (Grimsdyke
Crescent and part of Old Fold View) that were in Hertfordshire despite the
fact that the roads they connected to were all in Barnet. Sensibly they now
seem to be in Barnet.

Are there any other roads that are similarly isolated from the administrative
area they are supposed to be in?

As mentioned a week or two back, part of the Wates Station Estate at Worcester Park (Pembury Avenue, Caverleigh Way etc) is in RB Kingston but only accessible by going down Green Lane which is in LB Sutton

http://www.multimap.com/map/browse.c...&multimap.y=49

A bit of history if you look at this map is that the green strip between Pembury Avenue and Kingshill Avenue was originally designated for a bypass (Route 11) that would have run from Chessington to Carshalton: for anyone who knows the area, this is why the Malden Road end of South Lane is so wide: it was another piece of this route.

I'm pretty sure there are several around Cambridge, though I'll have to
check on a map.

The road I live in was in this situation for a while (before I moved
there); the new boundary cuts through the back garden.

Great stuff, thanks. There are a lot more than I thought. I think
http://www.hmso.gov.uk/si/si1993/Uksi_19931391_en_1.htm is the most
significant one in terms of number of properties and people transferred.

A small but significant portion of a housing development at Stopsley Common
in Luton falls just outside the unitary authority boundary. There is no
access to these houses except for going through Luton... and you have to
travel a long way through it to go anywhere else! I hate to think how they
organise waste collection etc.

Common where modern development has been built across old boundaries.

The boundary around Beredens Lane has remained the same,
but since they built the M25, it was cut in two, and one isolated
end resides in Greater London while the rest is in Essex...

Not any more. The boundary was moved to the M25.

Curiously, the index at Multimap uses the old boundaries, while the map
shows the new. Check out the meaning of the numbers 1 and 2.

Erm... yay for them! (Damn them, destroying my points... I need a new A to
