I don't find London in this list:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_territorial_disputes

Another interresting example is the territorial disputes in the South China Sea:

Just to say that disputed names, areas or boundaries, etc will never
end in OSM. We need a long term solution and not a 'case by case'
study checking with small communities of  OSM contributors.
