I think it can be argued either way.
-The 1965 merger didn't create a city, but a regional authority.
-Having a mayor doesn't indicate a city. Some U.S. counties have mayors.
-The fact that people are indisputably part of "London" does not indicate that the GLA is a city. Everyone in LA County would be considered Angelinos; that does not make LA County a city.
-The Home Counties aren't suburbs in the U.S. sense. More like exurbs. They have significantly lower commuter share than the GLA, or typical commuter suburbs in other countries.
