Caterham and Warlingham, Esher, Walton and Weybridge in Surrey, Chigwell in Essex, Cheshunt in Hertfordshire, and Staines and Sunbury in Middlesex. Passage through Parliament The government considered that the boroughs should be fewer and larger so published its plan for 34 London boroughs in late 1961. In the County of London this reorganised the proposed boroughs so that combinations for the present boroughs of Camden, Westminster and Islington were achieved. The Hackney borough had Shoreditch rather than the Tower Hamlets borough. Lewisham would be standalone, Deptford would combine with Camberwell and Bermondsey, and Southwark and Lambeth would unite. Eastern Wandsworth was to form a borough in itself, with western Wandsworth being paired with Battersea. Outside the former County of London, the outer London boroughs were to be: Chigwell (north of the Roding – that is, Loughton and Buckhurst Hill)/Chingford/Leyton/Walthamstow/Wanstead and Woodford Chigwell (south of the Roding)/Ilford Hornchurch (part)/Romford Barking/Dagenham/Hornchurch (Rainham and South Hornchurch wards) East Ham/West Ham/North Woolwich Bexley/Chislehurst and Sidcup/Crayford/Erith Beckenham/Bromley/Orpington/Penge Caterham and Warlingham/Coulsdon and Purley/Croydon Banstead/Beddington and Wallington/Carshalton/Epsom and Ewell/Sutton and Cheam Merton and Morden/Mitcham/Wimbledon Esher/Kingston/Malden and Coombe/Surbiton/Walton and Weybridge Barnes/Richmond/Twickenham Brentford and Chiswick/Feltham/Heston and Isleworth/Staines/Sunbury Hayes and Harlington/Ruislip-Northwood/Uxbridge/Yiewsley and West Drayton Acton/Ealing/Southall Wembley/Willesden Harrow Barnet/Finchley/Hendon East Barnet/Enfield (part)/Friern Barnet/Hornsey/Southgate/Wood Green Cheshunt/Edmonton/Enfield (part)/Tottenham The Minister of Housing and Local Government announced, on their request, that five urban districts (Cheshunt, Chigwell, Esher, Staines and Sunbury) were to be excluded from Greater London on 18 May 1961, having earlier confirmed the widely expected exclusion of Banstead, Caterham and Warlingham and Walton and Weybridge. Requests from the councils of Romford, Barnet, Carshalton, Coulsdon and Purley, Feltham, Yiewsley and West Drayton to be removed from the area were turned down. Additionally, the department decided that the "northern part of the borough of Epsom and Ewell definitely forms part of Greater London and must be included". Epsom and Ewell would ultimately be excluded from the area in its entirety. Changes published in August 1962 saw a reduction from 33 to 32 boroughs, and in greater detail, Shoreditch to join Hackney; Wanstead and Woodford to be added to Ilford to form 'Redbridge' rather than join Waltham Forest; Chislehurst and Sidcup to be divided between the Bromley and the Bexley; East Barnet, Friern Barnet, Hendon, and Finchley to form a single borough (Barnet), Enfield to join Edmonton and Southgate (to be simply Enfield), the Tottenham, Hornsey and Wood Green authorities to combine to form Haringey
