Because house prices are absurd and when people git their 30s and start families they've tended to move out to the subsurbs.
However London still has a net-inflow as other people take their place. London is getting more populated not less.

I have already indicated violent crime is up that's one trend on the increase, in general and in the bigger picture

You said Manchester was less violent than London. It isn't. It has a murder murder rate and has had larger increases in violent crime than London.

Crime has fallen in the upper parts of England and Wales and has continued to fall since 1990. Crime is up 12% in London since Khan became the Mayor.

I can't find the 12% statistic to see what they're measuring. Is it police recorded crime (
which is up 13% across the UK) or the survey (which shows it going down)?
