Twenty years ago I was a local campaigner pushing for 20mph limits borough wide in Islington. We won the argument and Islington was the first London borough to have default 20mph limits on main and side roads.
With insurance savings too, we should see drivers calling for lower speeds everywhere.

In 2024 esure were the first insurance company to reveal that default 20mph limits in Wales had reduced damage claims by 20% with a £50 reduction in premiums than otherwise would have been the case. Now others are showing 20mph = fewer crashes = lower premiums. See 24:30 mins in to BBC R4 Today.
