Taxing land value is desirable because otherwise the price of land

the value of the buildings, but ISTR council tax assessment for houses
in London is based on footprint rather than value.

The council tax bands are defined by London boroughs (or at least
the ones I found on a Google search for "council tax bands London")
as based on value, like everywhere else in England.

Council Tax bands are allocated by the Government's Valuation Agency not
by Councils.
