As a resident of Wimbledon, I can tell you that Selhurst is about three or four miles away, in the direction of Croydon - but that's as the crow flies. Roads on the outskirts of London are so complicated and non-linear that if you were to drive from one to the other it would take at least half an hour - or twice that in the rush hour. Personally, I'd say it was stretching the truth pretty far to describe Selhurst as part of Wimbledon - especially as most of Wimbledon is leafy and fairly scenic, whereas Selhurst is one big industrial estate - but what bearing this has on FA rules, I wouldn't know.
