Well, that once was the plan.
The only bits built were the Westway and the approach to the Blackwell Tunnel. There is a spur to now where on the Westway. I think it was meant to take the road down to Vauxhall Bridge...
The whole thing collapsed mainly because local communities objected to their destruction to build urban motorways. We also had real and functioning local governement and democracy in London.
