I said ages ago that London ought to declare independence. It's a
similarly sized population to Scotland, after all. In fact, this very
question got brought up beautifully prior to the mayoral elections; I
recall some breakfast news interviewer saying "But... but Scotland has a
very distinct cultural identity, and London's just a grey blob", in a
somewhat more verbose manner, and being told where to shove it.
