I got some great news from my work the other day, I've been moved work base to London (I grew up in Essex/Cambridgeshire but spent most of my time in London for the past 5 years) from Edinburgh where I've lived for the last year due to work. Edinburgh is a great city but home is home and that is where I'd like to return to.
However, how do people genuinely afford London these days? I'm not even talking central London, I'm talking about the outskirts! I'd say my job is relatively well paid, I'd say about average for a London resident. I'm 28, I have done my time living in big households and my job doesn't lend itself to living with others (too many 4am starts!), so I'd prefer to live on my own.
