They mentioned that as a world once, but then I think it was mistaken. I know they are bad at math, but they consistently say that he's 300, but then the facts don't add up, unless Darlings London was a separate place. The Darling's London has to be ours, because Bae thought of the LWM when using the bean, so that's where it took him.

I still find it odd that the Shadow and Flying Monkeys can exist in our world while the Chernabog cannot, though Yeah, we will never know. But presumably, a shadow is just a shadow plus magically enhanced, similar as the flying monkey, but Chernabog is pure magic. I wonder why Ruby couldn't go wolf in SB then........I know plot holes.

Yeah, it has to be the LWM, but by Jefferson's monologue, there's more than one and many with different amounts. Well, Neal does say that our world wasn't his first stop when he left home.

Perhaps he went to another LWM, then Pan let him leave Neverland for our LWM.

But then we have the Darlings leaving Storybrooke in 310 to go back home - and nothing implies they are taking a portal. It's gotta be real England. Yeah, true...I guess they got there memory wiped and then got confused by their lives, lol. Sucks to be them, I'd say. Wendy's memory would've gotten wiped. Pan's "de-aging" magic would've worn off on John and Michael and they would've pulled a Mother Gothel in the middle of the car.

That would've caused an accident and if Wendy hadn't died in the ensuing car crash, she'd be locked away in an asylum for her claims of being from the 1800's...

Unless they were trapped in Storybrooke and sent to the Enchanted Forest before they could leave. That would be the ideal, in my opinion. Her memories would remain. She was never cursed and could leave Storybrooke with no problem, just like Regina and Hook.

As to Pan's de-aging magic, some kinds of magic remain even when the person dies. We are led to believe that Smee remained a rat until the final moment of Storybrooke's existance, not exactly when Gold died. Whale probably kept his arm when Gold died too. Also, any magic related to aging seems to be easier to keep intact. Those characters are young because of magic, yes, but leaving to the LWM doesn't make them 30 years older. Emma and Henry both lost all their memories of Neverland, despite it having no connection to Storybrooke. Emma also lost all memories of Season 2 when she went to the Enchanted Forest. So yeah, it's safe to assume that the handful of people who remembered Storybrooke before this, would forget it completely and all other magical lands. They lost the memories because the curse was undone.

Wendy and her brothers presumably left Storybrooke before that.
