SE19, like where I live (in SE23) is mostly clay substrate with a little bit of gravel on top in a few places.
Hard/expensive to get insurance to cover for subsidence.
ETA - There's quite a few houses in SW4 and Belgravia that have had basements dug out / extended beneath them. Sometimes with undesirable results.
