COMING TO LONDON? FAQ for visitors and new residents. Ask us stuff here! (w/c 29 Oct 2018)

I was on £21k when I first moved here (nearly 4yrs ago), plus a bit extra for night shifts here and there. Most other people I knew who moved to London (not for any specific career but just to move to London as a young person) were on somewhere around £19-26k).

You will need to share a flat, but it can still be a nice flat in a good location, maybe with just one other person.

Also just be wary of your spending habits. I have mates who have been in London for years living on somewhere around £19-23k, and they have a great time, we do stuff all the time, they live in a nice flatshare etc... But if you are someone who eats out every meal, wants to see a show every other week, go to club every Friday night etc... you might struggle.
