Incidentally, Londoner is the only -er word that I can think of for the inhabitants of a British city, though we also speak of Dubliners and New Yorkers.

In fact, we don't have many nouns at all for people who live in particular cities. The only ones I can think of offhand are

Aberdonian - Aberdeen
Bristolian - Bristol
Glaswegian - Glasgow
