Geoff:
Yes, but there are actually areas which have retained their name of 
Village. For tennis fans, if you go just up the hill from the famous 
Tennis grounds, you will find yourself in Wimbledon Village, so called 
to distinguish it from the later development which took place down in 
the valley when the railway arrived.

There is also Highgate Village in North London which has retained the 
name.

Isn't there also Greenwich Village in NY? Correct me if I'm wrong 
please.

With reference to Godric's Hollow however, the implication has always 
been that it was out west somewhere. At the opening of PS in Little 
Whinging, which is in Surrey and thus close to the west or south-west 
of London, Hagrid appears with Harry and refers to flying over Bristol 
which is about 120 miles west of the capital.

(For folk unfamiliar with London, to explain Steve's comment above. 
London to most folk, including ourselves, is usually viewed as Greater 
London which is roughly a circle of about 15-20 miles radius bounded by 
the M25 London Orbital Motorway but central London is made up of the 
City of Westminster which is the commercial and administrative centre 
and the City of London, the financial area -  usually abbreviated 
to "The City")
