No wonder some people think we have a West London Branch not a London Branch. London still has two greyhound stadia at Romford and Crayford despite the closures of White City, Harringay, Walthamstow and Catford to name a few.
Do they? I wouldn't know as I don't and have never lived in West London...
You are of course correct that dog tracks also exist at Romford and Crayford which are within greater London albeit a lot further out. However folk who come from those towns are more likely to identify as being from Essex or Kent.
