I'd imagine the Thames Water sewer upgrades alongside Crossrail are part of the plan to cope.
London's population was 8.6 million in 1939. It's only as recently as last year reached that mark again, so it's a somewhat different set of challenges from much of the rest of the UK.

I didn't own a car the entire time I lived in London. Public transport, given the traffic, ends up a cheaper solution a lot of the time.
