» I did this for the four cardinal points five years ago.
» This took ages to compile, again.
» Even so, it won't be 100% correct.

• Northwest is almost in Rickmansworth but you can't count that because it's in Hertfordshire. The chief area to search is thus mostly around Harefield, and if that fails to deliver then maybe Northwood.
• The northeast boundary is two miles of the M25 near Brentwood, but we need to look just inside that so Noak Hill and Harold Hill.
• Southeast is a seriously rural chunk of Bromley where very few people live, so the southern end of Biggin Hill usually wins instead.
• Southwest is a long tongue of Kingston with Malden Rushett at the tip, but generally the place to check is Chessington. I was disappointed that Chessington World of Adventures only satisfied one category.
