(2) dieselking- Your mate might be living in a place called Bromley-by-Bow, which is in the east end of London.
However (confusingly) Bromley (the place), to the southeast of London, has a Kent postal address, but is within Greater London and is in the London Borough of Bromley. It is not within the boundaries of Kent County Council.
Bromley (the place) is obviously within the London Borough of Bromley.
Many places on the periphery of Greater London are in a sitiation similar to this, both being a part of (Greater) London and also notionally a part of an adjacent county (at least in a postal address sense). Bromley is regarded a town in it's own right, even though there are no green fields that seperate it from the sprawl of London. (Thats not to say that there's no green field though, as any Londoner will tell you there are plenty of significant open spaces, woods and parks in London.)
That answer probably confuses things more than it clears them up though!
