If your rent is cheaper outside of London then you will pay more for the travel plus extra travelling takes up more of your time. The system is well made out.. there is no escape..

Average wage in London is still only around £41k- round £2, 600pcm after tax. So even a small and shabby one bed in places mentioned in this video (most of which are psychologically outside London in any case) is going to be 60%+ of your whole pay check for the month.

Fun fact, Croydon had the first airport in the world, it's now an aviation museum just off the Purley Way.

Affordable and London, that is an extremely creative video title

[ChristopherJRobin]

Good video. You keep saying "City of London" and I think you mean something like zones 1 and 2.

The "City of London" means something else. It is a much smaller area, right in the middle of central London.

[feelgoodvibes]

Here is my list:
Sutton
Ealing
Deptford
Greenwich
Acton - albeit being now more expensive with gentrification
Streatham (the sides connected to Clapham)
Croydon(if you really need to go- south part😉)
Bromley
Willesden Green
Bounds Green

The way people underestimate Sutton amazes me. Safe, clean, green spaces, one of the top 3 boroughs with best schools and highest exam results. Stone's throw away from Wimbledon and Surrey. Sutton and Sutton Common and station get you into central quickly. Morden underground isn't far away from Sutton High Street. There are very few negatives.

[Iceageonmars]

Bounds Green is great - tube station, train station, surrounded by lovely areas, parks and most of all, affordable!

I've been following you for a while now and I love this kind of well-crafted video. keep going !! :))

The average salary in London as on 2022 is 33K to 35k, wages in the uk are very low, 55k is a very good salary

[hangrytactitian]

your vlogs (blogs) are much informative than others... thanks for letting us know about the areas... love you POPPYYY

[Umopuns]

Great summary video! You covered all the areas that I’m having my eyes on rn

[squiddyfan]

It's tube zone verses accommodation.
One you save in rent but lose in travel expenses.
One can afford lunch at Pret .
Another at Gregg's.
With The way things are going.
Robots will be serving you and you'll have to your own hair etc etc because there's no way the under payed service workers are going to crawl out from whatever cage they live in eating sick to survive to able to do anything at those cost of living prices.
I used to live in Islington angel and Crouch end in the 90s.
And made enough change to live abroad in my 30s.
You can kiss that goodbye these day's.
An I was a lowly service industry worker.

Sutton is a great area indeed, with fantastic links to Victoria and London Bridge
Ealing is not 'affordable' anymore I am afraid, I would also not include it in this guide.
I suspect Streatham high was now shown in the video because it is a horrible place to be, let alone live near.
Croydon is one of the largest boroughs and has a large variety of areas. You can live in nice leafy areas like Purley or Coulsdon and have no idea about crime infested West Croydon or ghettos on the north of the borough.
Walthamstow is ok if you like East London and ready to pay extra for less than nice area just because it is close to Central London.

[KennaDeMerkedo]

Walthamstow may be affordable, but anyone considering even stepping a foot here should consider news, like the one from 23 Feb 2023 "The London neighbourhood where 8 people have been stabbed in 10 days within a mile of each other"... fancy a guess which neighbourhood it is about?

[imaflirt]

I think there are cheaper spots as you go abit further out of ealing, ealing as a west Londoner is expensive tbh. There are places like Greenford, hanwell, hayes, Ruislip, Hillingdon, Uxbridge and are got links into london and are pretty much safe. North west aswell like harrow Edgware, burnt oak, collingdale have all seen changes with new shops, apartments etc

[verykeenplease]

"Croydon has blossomed into the town it is today" omg i not sure i would have used the word "blossomed" lol

[Boppy-B-B]

Just watching The Onedin Line. The rent for a big house was £25.00 a year. Mind you, the series is set in 1860. 😁

[Alan_Mac]

Good summary. it would definitely be Ealing for me otherwise I'll just stay in Amersham which is quieter and greener but still has an OK commute.

[clambert]

Jan 2022 I was looking at moving to Ealing but couldnt find any nice properties for the money. It was mad to think a one-bed flat that is not so nice would be £1300+, instead I found a place in Kew Gardens for the same price. Arguably a much much nicer area than Ealing. Only downside is the District line...
