In London at least there is very little underground parking. Most buildings are 50+ years old, and even in new builds it isn't very common. When I was working there, in a building with ~2000 desks, the underground car park had a spacious 80 spaces. I lived a bit further out, so I actually had a driveway, but if you live in the centre you are lucky to even get on-street parking. Still, as you say, it makes no sense to have a car due to the easy availability of public transport. It's a catch 22 really :)
