There has been an increasingly rapid extension of London into tho suburbs and home counties. Already tho area of Greater London is taken as being forty miles from north to south and over forty from east to west. Before the end ’of the century it will have stretched to Brighton on the south and to Southend on the east. The population of Greater London is almost twice that of Scotland, and nearly three times that of Denmark; and, with greater travel facilities and more ambitious conditions of living, it will spread out much farther.
