I dont view over crowding as in actual land mass used...more the utilities and services within a given area. Looking at schools, hospitals and transport etc. yes the capital is over crowded.

Read a few things that suggest when Cross Rail is completed its max capacity will already be exceeded as an example.

The fact it's now just under £700 per month to rent a studio flat in Wallington says all you need to know, overcrowded & overpriced.

People are forced to pay or leave the area.

That's a similar response to one you made a while ago stating the UK wasn't overcrowded because only 11% of it was developed (or some such figure) which ignored the fact that a huge portion of the UK is uninhabitable geographically.

Pawson Palace has made a valid point about infrastructure. Yes we can build upwards, but will that solve problems like water shortages and the ability to actually travel around the capital?

I was merely showing a comparison, nothing more. It is you who are reading between the lines incorrectly.

Nevertheless I made a valid point that cannot be shrugged off.

Compared to Dhaka in Bangladesh (15M inhabitants) London is not "overcrowded" but who wants to live with 10 people to a tiny room made of corrugated iron and sharing a toilet with 200 people?
