A borough is a territorial administrative division of the capital of Great Britain. 32 boroughs form the Greater London region, which, however, does not include the City. It is considered a separate ceremonial county. 12 boroughs are inner London, another 20 are outer London. Another four districts have the status of royal boroughs (administrative districts).
