If you were to believe the CPRE, the SE is currently like
downtown Hong Hong during the rush hour, when the reality
is that approximately 15% of the land within 1 hours
commute of charring cross is built on.

A one hour commute by your favoured mode is only about ten
miles at
most. Are you suggesting that there are open fields within
that area?

A one hour journey by car can take one (easily) up to 60
miles (probably not a lot more, unless one lives adjacent
to a motorway interchange).

So what are you talking about?

Try the last line of Greg Hennessy's post. Ten mile west of Charing Cross
doesn't even get you to Southall. travelling for the same distance in any
other direction is still well within the London conurbation.
