Someone who was born and raised in the English capital city that is London. More than not, often associated with people hailing from more central and well known areas such as Wesminster, it does often include people from the West, East, North and South suburbs though.
If you are a cockney, you are a Londoner, but if you are a Londoner, you do not have to be a cockney.

A person with a genuine birth certificate that states the named person was born in the City of London Maternity Hospital. (Unfortunately, shortly after I was born, it was closed down - can't think why...)
The hospital closed in the late 1950's, so unless you were a home birth within the City of London, after that date, YOU ARE NOT A LONDONER. Westminster is merely a London Borough, not London. London is The Square Mile.
"Where were you born?"
"Fleet Street, East Side of the Griffin. I'm a Londoner, I live in Middle Temple."
"I'm from Hackney."
"Ah, a cockney."
