Well, if you're going to be pedantic, the figures for London are
completely wrong as well. I believe the population of the City of London
is in the low thousands. The figure in your web-page is for Greater
London, most of which is not London at all ... :-)

As I understand it, the official city boundary extends far beyond the
built up area. Weird I know, but ... Dunno where I picked up on that,
but it wouldn't surprise me if it was when I visited my aunt and cousins
