Description
London isn't just an expensive city... it's becoming one of the hardest places in Britain to build an ordinary life. In this video, we will break down why living in London feels almost impossible, from average rents of £2,253 a month and first homes costing 13 times the average salary, to a housing shortage, record levels of temporary accommodation, and the 420,000 people who packed up and left in a single year. This is London explained through its housing, wages, cost of living and population, and it shows just how far the UK's richest city has drifted out of reach for people on a normal income.
