[edit] Initial scope

The London district articles are of variable quality. Hopefully this will increase navigation between them and get the articles improved. To keep the coverage even I selected these districts by looking at the borough articles and chose between 2 and 4 of what I consider to be the main settlements in each borough.

[edit] What makes the list

How do you decide what goes on the list? What about St. John's Wood or West Brompton, neither of which are listed? -- Jmabel | Talk 23:05, 30 December 2005 (UTC)

As I said above I chose the main 2-4 districts from each borough. Do you think they are the main districts of Westminster? Add them if you think they are. MRSC 06:05, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
No, if you are counting only 2-4 districts for Westminster, St. John's Wood would not be up there, although I'd say that it is more prominent than some places that are included from less prominent boroughs. West Brompton, I believe is Borough of Kensington and Chelsea (I could be wrong, haven't had occasion to think about it in a couple of decades). And, no, it's not that prominent, certainly not up with Chelsea or South Ken. - Jmabel | Talk 09:02, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
