Re: East England
I agree that London is definitely in the South of England rather than the East - but not because the 0 meridian goes through London. The zero meridian is irrelevant. England is more to the west of the 0 meridian than to the east; Scotland _entirely_ so. It still makes sense to talk about eastern Scotland and the East Riding of Yorkshire (again, almost entirely in the western hemisphere)
