What new roads have been built in London (inside the M25) over the

I can name one:
"University Way" (part of the A206), which is inside the M25, but
which is not in London. The new-build part (which is now about ten
years old anyway) is in Dartford, Kent.
I am not aware of any other significant highway building inside the
M25 (whether inside or outside London) in the last 20 years, let
alone 10.
There are plenty of examples of Livingstonian road sabotage, though.
Witness the (former) A40 (M)

Westway? Looks much the same as it always was, apart from the lack
of lighting.

No longer subject to proper motorway regulations (purely in order to
bring it under Livingstone's control).

and the disgrace of the wrecking of the (very useful) short stretch
of M41 at Shepherd's Bush.

In what sense has it been wrecked?

It was (part of) a motorway, six lanes and two hard shoulders.

A motorway that went no where near any other

....apart from the A40(M), you mean? It was also meant to connect with
what is now numbered M1, some miles to the north. And it was meant to
cross the Thames at Wandsworth.

and was a reminder of an
attempt to over ride the wishes of the population. The former A41(M) from
the Westway to Shepherd's Bush roundabout is, at most, threequarters of a
mile long.

Look at it now.

Redesignated to allow more people to use it and to gain greater benefit.

Gawd - you sound just like Doug. You only left out the word(?): "Hitlerian".
