Greater London consists of the following 33 boroughs:

Barking and Dagenham, Barnet, Bexley, Brent, Bromley, Camden, City of  
London, City of Westminster, Croydon, Ealing, Enfield, Greenwich,  
Hackney, Hammersmith and Fulham, Haringey, Harrow, Havering,  
Hillingdon, Hounslow, Islington, Kensington and Chelsea, Kingston,  
Lambeth, Lewisham, Merton, Newham, Redbridge, Richmond, Southwark,  
Sutton, Tower Hamlets, Waltham Forest, and Wandsworth.

Yes.

Notably absent is Watford. That doesn't stop it from being "North  
London" in job ads, mind. (It's actually in the Borough of Watford,  
Hertfordshire.)

That does assume that people have a full driving licence and a car,  
and can plan a reasonably-sane route that avoids the Congestion  
Charge. I can't really imagine anybody sane would venture onto the M4  
on a motorbike.
