How can Nick's rent be £4,500?

You can rent a nice, 2 bedroom flat with two showers+toilets, 13 mins' walk from a London Underground station in zone 3, for less than £2,000.

Even if they don't want to share with another couple, Nick and his girlfriend should each be paying less than £1,000, no?

Per quarter? It's not the monthly rent.
Worse, in my first scenario, I started a £4,500 but then "girlfriend" ask to move together, so apparently Nick was living solo And once they moved together, the rent moved to £5,500
I'm confident whoever created this has never stepped foot in London, or if they did, it was briefly.
