ntl, Telewest and VM's expansion budgets were, being mean, laughable. What money there was was spent on upgrading some analogue-only areas to 2-way digital and rebuilding 2-way networks to higher standards.
Remember that some analogue areas were considered too expensive to upgrade to 2-way digital so were simply ditched. Some of these East London areas among them.
Edit: It is worth mentioning though that in these areas with no cabinets but ducting and tees the most cost efficient way to deploy services to them now is FTTP. Doesn't require cabinets as no active hardware required out in the field at all beyond an ONT on each subscriber's wall.
