Geoff:
That's not particularly surprising. Parts of Kent are, effectively, 
suburban London and chunks of Kent were moved into Greater London 
when that was set up in the mid-1960s.

it wuld be quite feasible for a wizard from Kent to just be dropping 
into the Leaky Cauldron or somewhere else in the centre; it's just as 
easy for them as for Vernon, whose work whereabouts are not revealed 
IIRC.
