The Times is Murdoch owned, and it is pro-remain. These papers are are more about following what they think are the views of their readers rather than leading them.
Generally in the 2016 referendum the bigger cities voted more Remain than other areas. For example Manchester had an even bigger Remain share than Liverpool. London, Cardiff, Leicester, Newcastle, Bristol etc. voted Remain.
It is quite noticeable in the results -
