Enfield: Not Middlesex Since 1965

Enfield sits in the London Borough of Enfield, north Greater London. Middlesex as an administrative county was abolished in 1965 by the London Government Act 1963. Its former area split among Greater London, Hertfordshire, and Surrey.

Postal addresses clung to "Middlesex" until Royal Mail dropped it in 1996. Locals still say it. Officially? London. Ceremonially? Greater London. Historically? Middlesex. Three truths, one postcode.
