My parents in Putney in a much larger home pay a lot less council Tax

Why? How much of their Council Tax goes to TFL? How much of yours?
You offer no evidence on how much "general taxation" either of you
pay, and where it goes.

These days Council Tax is a general tax because the rate is set (within
very narrow limits) by the Government.
