I think a lot of inner London roads were renamed to disambiguate hence the X High Street pattern. A lot of roads used to have signs saying “formerly Y road” when I was a kid in London.

Most of the non-disambiguated High Streets will be in the Greater London boroughs (Bromley, Bexley etc.) When I was a kid, Bromley was already a London borough. But we sure as heck didn't consider Orpington to be proper London! ;-)
