I'm so glad I don't live in London any more.

When I did, last decade, I paid in the range of £300-700 a month for a flat or a house I shared with friends. We always had decent sized rooms, a good kitchen etc

A grand a month to live in a room smaller than the Travelodge is just awful.

Now I live on the South coast, I work in London sometimes when the money is right, I work in Dorset, Hampshire, West Sussex and Surrey otherwise.

In the city I live in (Southampton) you can rent a 3 bedroom house for £850 pcm. You might even be able to buy a place to live eventually.

Life is so much better.
