How close to London are buzzards living now?

Question

Seeing the new thread on Multiple Buzzards gives us an idea that they are doing pretty well these days. 
 I had a nice surprise some weeks back when I saw a buzzard hunting over a meadow between Woking and Weybridge in Surrey. 
 This is fairly near to London, and I wonder if anyone else has seen them closer to London than this?

Hi. 
 Buzzard, hobby, kestrel, red kite and of course peregrine are all quite common sightings in London now. I'm not aware of any records of breeeding red kites in the Capital, but the rest are doing rather well in our urban jungle. 
 It's warmer than the surrounding countryside and there's plenty of food in our parks, gardens and streets. 
 Keep looking upwards, it's amazing what you can see.
