There isn't much in the way of good megalithic material in the south east of England, and apart from the odd glacial lump, I don't think there ever was.
I know what you're thinking though. How come there's nothing there? Surely the prehistoric Londoners had a similar religion to their neighbours in Wessex (the Medway monuments point to this). The answer is that, in the absence of stone, they used wood. The wooden temples rotted away, and the post holes that remained were largely destroyed by the building of the largest conurbation in Europe and outside the city, intensive farming.
That's how I see it, but I'm sure there are other interpretations out there.
