I included the East of England region which includes home counties like Beds, Herts and Essex. Any measure of "around London" must include Essex, surely.

IMO 'around London' is Greater London. If you mean the whole South East of England, then say that.

Anyone local would not think a number of 25m pop was referring to Greater London.

South East England is a defined statistical region, using it like that could be confusing

Which is why we are picking you up on saying the area 'around London' has that population. I could also say that the enirety of Europe is 'around London'. Its ambiguous at best and has no real meaning.

"Greater London" is London to anyone in the UK, for the most part.
