...seems to be about £500K. That would be for a flat. For a modest house in a nice area, it's more like a million. How very depressing.

Originally posted by FranckoNo. There are many parts where you spend much less and some are just as nice. Problem is that you need to know where they are and it's hard to know, London being such a vast town.Hard Brexit now!

i.e. example Lewisham/Catford is bad but there are many nice parts just not far away for the same price. You can get something nice for 250k perhaps. But then if you look at Blackheath you have to spend 500k because then people can show that they belong to a superior class status (which seems to be the most important thing here). Living in Unknowingham which might be a very nice area, with nice school, with reasonable crime and not far from the center does not sound very appealing to the average Joe English.I've seen much of the rest of the world. It is brutal and cruel and dark, Rome is the light.Comment

For example, Paris. Where the well-to-do all live in certain arondissements and wouldn't dream of living in others!Comment
