And data I mentioned on my post didn't come from citypopulation, but from UK Census. From citypopulation, I took London urban agglomeration definition. It has this 14.2 million people (2018) on the boundaries presented on the link.

If I had cherry picked the last 12-18 months of data I'd agree completely that one can't draw any conclusions. It's why I looked at demographic data over the last few years. This isn't a blip. Trend lines are important and the trend line in the UK and London is down.
I do agree with you about London's population though. London metropolitan area (14.258 million in 2018) is what I should have used. I went back to have a look and it closely corresponds to Greater Toronto - Hamilton in area. I'm assuming Melbourne annexed an adjacent municipality 2015-2016? The last few years look as follows:
London Metropolitan Area
2015: 13,839,040
2016: 13,998,563 (+1.15% or +159,523)
2017: 14,115,260 (+0.83% or +116,697)
2018: 14,257,962 (+1.01% or +142,702)
2019: 14,372,596 (+0.80% or +114,634)
Area: 8,382 km²
Greater Toronto - Hamilton
2015: 7,191,777
2016: 7,285,937 (+1.31% or +94,160)
2017: 7,395,512 (+1.50% or +109,575)
2018: 7,535,936 (+1.90% or +140,424)
2019: 7,680,502 (+1.92% or +144,566)
Area: 8,244 km²
Greater Melbourne
2015: 4,529,500
2016: 4,725,316 ( +4.32% or +195,816)
2017: 4,843,928 (+2.51% or +118,612)
2018: 4,963,349 (+1.91% or +92,421)
