The cost of living is absolutely awful in London. You'll be fine doing a flat share etc in some of the nicer metropolitan bits, but if you have 3 children like myself, things get expensive awfully quickly. You have to fish out £1500/month for a 3 bedroom house in a suburban area (zone 5/6) which you won't get stabbed in. If you want something really nice, say Richmond/Strawberry Hill, try £2250 for the same.
