Surrey is not in London. It is a county that borders Greater London.
Here are a few areas which are still mistakenly referred to as 'Surrey' but are officially part of Greater London:
Richmond-upon-Thames, Kingston-upon-Thames, Surbiton, Sutton and Croydon.
What confuses many people - is that these towns do not possess traditional London post-codes (such as SW15, with the exception of Kingston Vale in this case) but apart from this anomaly - are otherwise administratively parts of London. North of the Thames, similar anomalies are found: Wembley (an iconic area of London) possesses an HA post-code (Harrow) and not a NW post-code as one may expect.
If you look further back through history you will find that Lambeth, Wandsworth and Southwark were considered part of Surrey until 1889 - but were 'swallowed-up' by the inexorable expansion of London through time.
