From my personal experience, and my experience with results from surveys/polls (such as the one Stack Exchange did) I've seen PHP being around 85% of what the average developer makes from other categories (Python, C#, so on).

I'm seeing numbers from $50,000 - $60,000 for developer salaries in London. Obviously a lot of things come into play, but that should give you some idea:

Recruiting firms in general do not have your best interest at heart...but that doesn't mean you can't get a mutually beneficial agreement down.

There is also always room for negotiation.
