I did a bit more research, he's a little food for thought.
This is for my own Borough:

A large part of the borough is taken up with parks and open spaces, including some which attract both domestic and international tourism such as Richmond Park, Bushy Park, Kew Gardens, and Hampton Court Park; because of this the Borough has more open space than any other London borough There are over 100 parks and open spaces within its boundary and 21 miles of river frontage.

More open space than anywhere else in London, so none of that would be populated or would need fibre dramatically reducing the area requiring work and increasing the 'populated area' density, yet even including Kew, Richmond Park, etc:

Population Density 3,137 /km2 (8,125 /sq mi)

Our neighbour to the East, Wandsworth:

Population Density 8,289 /km2 (21,468 /sq mi)

Our neighbour to the North East, Hammersmith and Fulham:

Population Density 10,497 /km2 (27,187 /sq mi)

You get the idea. Comparing population of a city like Hong Kong to populations nationwide is a bit silly, when it's compared like for like with a city like London you realise that population density is absolutely no excuse why our urban areas don't have services like this. That taxes and planning regulations make it extremely difficult plus it would make less urban areas go up in arms over why they can't have it for the same price despite being double, triple the cost to deploy the tech to on the other hand is a different story.
