Yes, obviously. But that’s not unique to London, and doesn’t necessarily make it impossible to do safely.
Some old and crowded systems allow bikes in designated cars/trains/stations that have space reserved for them, and only during off hours, for example.

They allow non-folding bikes off-peak in non-tunnel sections or on newer trains (like the Elizabeth line). They allow folding bikes at any time anywhere.

It’s a pity they lump bikes in with this, rather than finding a way to support them.
Because the network is old and the trains don’t have room for non folding bikes.
A normal bicycle is going to block entrances and exits to carriages, and in the case of an emergency that could be fatal.
