500 fpm ROC/ROD in LTMA

I've always understood that the minimum R.O.climb or descent in UK airspace had to be 500fpm. Indeed a Gulfstream/B747 airprox a while back was a direct result of this not being adhered to I seem to remember. I have heard recently that this 500fpm may not be required within the London TMA. Anyone have a definitive answer on the subject? Relevance to the question being reducing speed while descending in the slippery 757 without taking miles and miles to do it.
