When the LUZ shows that London has more inhabitants than Paris, then it's a rightful statistical area, but when it shows that Moscow has more inhabitants than London, suddenly it's not a rightful statistical area anymore.

The GLA defined a metropolitan
region, it never claimed it was a metropolitan

The Isle of Wight is included. I suggest you double-check the GLA document that defined that metropolitan region.

The figures I gave do not come from the UK census, which indeed underestimated the population of Greater London. They come from mid-year estimates by ONS which redressed the census figures to take into account the undercounts.
