Objectively the population density of Helsinki [1] is half that of London [2] - and according to google, a tenth of that of Paris. Subjectively after living in both Helsinki and London it feels like Helsinki is even less crowded. I would say that there are fewer people who commute in to commercial areas from outside of the city than in London, and the commercial areas such as offices are generally a lot less dense, newer, and more spread out.
