The London's
The other day I ran across this sentence: "Gillian Joseph has been given rare access to one of the London's most remarkable restoration success stories" (http://www.bbc.co.uk/london/yourlondon/restoration/restoration_2004/video.shtml)
Can you please tell me why "The London's" and not "London's"? Why is the article used?
Thank you!

If this is just a straightforward reference to London, 'the' is clearly wrong. It might be just a typo. I wonder if it is some local way of referring to the BBC London news channel or program.

0I'll bet they had "capital" or "city", and somebody cut-and-pasted "London" over it, probably with a global search-and-replace. It is just plain wrong with "the".
