The idea I had of London as a place I could live for decades when I first moved here: that's starting to fade away. That's the fall. And it's not just me; it's lots of other EU citizens.

Yea but that doesn't mean London "will fall".
Stop being so literal. Rome is still there, and has been for 2000+ years. It just isn't a terribly important city any more, globally; London will be similar.
I'm not being literal. London will continue to be an important global city. There won't be any "fall".
I'm sure the Romans thought that too, and the Athenians before them, and the Babylonians before that.
