Middlesex exists, it just isn't recognised by the national government.

Tell the Land Registry, they have a lot of titles in the MX number
series with descriptions using "Middlesex" and many records depend on
information derived from the Middlesex Deeds Registry (closed 1938).

and the Information Commissioner's Office :-
"ICO prosecutes Middlesex law firm" (Press Release 3 Mar 2009)

I understand that these signs were put up by Enfield Council less than 15
years ago. I'm not aware of any others.

There are similar signs in Harrow and other burghs on the Middlesex
border. AFAIR they are officially tourist signs erected in
co-operation with one of the county's historical associations. If they
weren't erected there would not be a county boundary sign as they were
IME never preceded or accompanied by any signs indicating the Greater
London boundary.
