Bexley

Bexley gave its name to an entire London borough and has spent every year since putting "Old" or "Village" in front of it, so nobody mistakes it for the rest of the borough. The high street still looks like a Kent village that never got the letter about joining London, and the people who live on it would like it to stay that way, ideally without anyone building anything. A planning notice on a lamppost here gets read more closely than most wills. Residents pay London prices for the privilege of insisting they live in Kent.
