Because renting in London is a national sport. Everyone has a horror story. “I paid £1,500 for a room with no window.” “My landlord lives in the garden shed.” Classic.
It’s also a game of creative survival. You learn to appreciate a good radiator. You celebrate when your flatmate buys toilet paper. Small wins.
And here’s the real gem: no matter the rent, London gives you free museums, brilliant chaos, and the best people-watching in the world. So yes, it’s expensive. But it’s never boring. Now go check your bank account.
