Question EGLL sid

Hi everyone,

Can anyone of you explain me something i noticed just today.

Flying out of EGLL i noticed that ALL the departures of LHR are "still" conventional departures, not even RNAV overlays.

It made me thinking that as soon as one nav aid goes down they have to provide radar guided sid (even if this is actually standard in LHR )

Is this choice to have conventional departures a choice rather than a need? Is there any background info?

Thanks to you all,
