I suspect the problem with Leicester is simply fewer mappers and therefore much more higher noise to signal. Also Leicester is odd in having a very active mapping community early on and much less (comparatively) activity more recently. Although the same is probably true of both Liverpool & Manchester.
Given that active mapping communities on a per country basis are often in the hundreds or low thousands using a city as big as London makes sense, even allowing for the effect of visitors. It's also too big for a few dedicated mappers to do on their own.
