Sorry, the existence of King Lucius of Britain was refuted by Adolf Harnack 100 years ago. In Britain nobody ever heard of King Lucius until Bede (died 735). Also, see article in Publications of the Medieval Assn. of the Midwest. vol. 10, 2003. "British King Lucius, the Grail, and Joseph of Arimathea."

David J. Knight, archeologist, scholar, and historian, demonstrates that Harnack's supposed refutation is fatally flawed, that King Lucius is not the creation of a scibal error, and that it is entirely possible that he indeed existed. See _King Lucius of Britain_, Tempus Publishers, 2008.

How London is Divided Up

For example, Southwark is in the Central Region but the City is in the Eastern Region given that all the bridges across the Thames in Southwark join up with the City this seems crazy! A report which discusses the issue of dividing up London can be seen here. Central sub-region Camden Islington Kensington & Chelsea Lambeth Southwark Wandsworth Westminster North sub-region Barnet Enfield Haringey Waltham Forest East sub-region Barking & Dagenham Bexley Corporation of London Greenwich Hackney Havering Lewisham Newham Redbridge Tower Hamlets South sub-region Bromley Croydon Kingston Merton Richmond Sutton West sub-region Brent Ealing Harrow Hammersmith and Fulham Hillingdon Hounslow
