they say the upkeep alone is 200m a year. Does it not make more sense to only route 300m away from London then?
If you keep reading there's another (up to) £150 million of that used for renewing roads.
The roads are probably a lot worse in other parts of the UK
If we're talking "probably", they're probably less used as well.

"Furthermore, from 2021, the £500m raised every year from Londoners paying Vehicle Excise Duty will be collected by central Government and only invested in roads outside the Capital."
