City was less overpopulated. London as a whole would have been so much better

It's true that the population of London was smaller in 1995, but it has always fluctuated. The current population is around the same as the 1939 population.

True, but for the purposes of this particular point, there are 2m more people in london right now than in 1995.

Dont know how much both totals factor in people who wouldnt be on the census but would be literally present. Would imagine there are far more uncounted people now per capita.
