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?
