I'm not sure that it is really paid "by all". London brings in 25% of all UK taxes while having only 13% of the population. Londoners are paying twice as much as everyone else and yet everyone else complains about "South England/London reaping the benefits". Maybe try to fund something without our help for once? Or at least say thanks.
You're welcome for all the commuters that need to be able to get in to London via our abysmal infrastructure to maintain its prominent position.
