I now live in 'greater london' and write my address as such
58 Y Road
Ealing
London
W5 XXXWhen I lived in Central London
97 Road X
London
EC2A XXXSo as a rule of thumb inner london needs no distinction, outer london tends to.
On a drop down though most of the sites I use go for the London + London Combo. Tis confusing/

I'd stick with Greater London > London. Greater London does exist as a region as well as a city (effectively a county like Yorkshire is) containing the 32? London boroughs + The City of London.

^ the only thing I was concerned about was someone having to poke around through the dropdown (ordered alphabetically) looking for London, when I named it Greater London.
Might seem like a lot to worry over, but this could affect site conversions, so I just want to make the 'right' decision.

^ Good point. Hard to know without knowing the extent of regional breakdown. I wouldn't bother with 'boroughs' personally as in Wolfboy's post.
If you are breaking it down by county. i.e. Hertfordshire, Essex, Berkshire (the conventional border counties of the London area), then I think you are right to just choose London.
Greater London tends to follow in hierarchy for postal addresses mainly:
i.e.
2 smith Road
Hammersmith
London w xxx
Greater London.- I've never seen Greater London used in an address.goldieboy
- You've never lived...babaganush
- What I mean is that Greater London is always a suffix AFTER London, If at all.babaganush

I'd say London rather than Greater London.
I live in London and my first guess on these things is always 'London', then 'Greater London', then 'South East'.
