When Greater London was created, Parliamentary constituencies straddled the boundary so it was not possible to use these areas for election of councillors.
The Second Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies reported in 1969, but was not implemented in time for the 1970 election.
There were minor revisions to Bromley and Croydon in 1969 and Richmond upon Thames in 1970 when the Greater London boundary was adjusted.
There was a minor revision to Uxbridge in 1982 when the Greater London boundary was adjusted.
In 2000, the Greater London Authority successor body with modified powers was created.
