.... but how can ANYONE afford to live in Londo?

Average house price £1M, average rental £1600pm!

Don't even see what the big appeal is.

Feel sorry for youngsters born ther. They'll never get their first home anywhere near famil!

The average London house price across city is £502,000. Perhaps a million in wealthier borough.

It is a ridiculous value and agree I wouldn't wish to live there. For one, it would be a helluva morning commute to my work in Glasgow

I lived in Surrey and worked in London

I loved it and really miss it there. Would move back again in a heat beat if I could

I worked in London many years ago when they were rebuilding Wembley Stadium. It's incredibly expensive for everything.

Wrong again lol. That's mega expensive now thanks to all the warehouse conversions. There are still some council estates but some of those houses are now £350000+

My former mother in law worked at the JSDC in Greenwich before it moved out and the site became the university of Greenwich.

It's all very trendy there now but I like that, when I go back to Glasgow and see how much it's changed over the years I like that too.

My old nan lived in Battersea, Just off Falcon Road.

I loved it as a teenager going to stay with her.

I moved out of London to give my kids a better quality of life. There are many many things down there that are more expensive than up here, property being the main one but public transport up here is more expensive as there isn't ine cohesive body in charge unifing it. For example, kids travel free on all London buses, not so up here.

But London was a great place to live until I had kids. I guess my priorities changed
