Arrow SVFR in Class A

SVFR is of course permitted in Class A subject to the minimiums. I guess we are all familiar with its application in the CI control zone. What about a SVFR clearance in the London TMA. In theory it is possible but I gather never ever given! Use of higher airspace in Europe and America never seems a problem. Often it is less turbulent and the height gives an important safety margin. Why do we in England seem so reluctant to give a SVFR clearance or am I wrong and can London be persuaded to grant such a clearance.
