are you of the view that "London" means only The City and

No. London only means the city of London.

Nonsense. Ever heard of the Mayor of London, Transport for London, London
as a post town in addresses, etc. etc. ?

Westminster and Southwark are separate cities in their own
right.

Southwark is not a city. See

Now if you wish to speak of the London Conurbation, that's fine.

Most people refer to that as London or Greater London.

By the way, why do your posts have an apparently empty file attached called
"Once upon a time there was a badly broken newsreader"?
