Let’s start with the obvious: London. It’s brilliant, it’s buzzing, and it will absolutely drain your bank account. The average house price here is about £500,000, which is basically two houses in Manchester.
Rent a one-bedroom flat in Kensington, and you’ll pay more than your mate’s entire mortgage. Fancy a coffee? That’ll be £4.50, and they’ll ask if you want a receipt like you’re buying a Ferrari.
But hey, the Tube is there to take you to work—if you can afford the ticket. Honestly, London is like that friend who’s super fun but always forgets their wallet.
Kensington and Chelsea: The Crown Jewels
If London is expensive, Kensington and Chelsea is where money goes to take a nap. The average property here sells for over £1.2 million. Yes, you read that right.
You’ll spot more Range Rovers than pigeons, and the locals probably have a butler for their butler. It’s also home to Harrods, where a loaf of bread costs the same as a flight to Spain.
Living here means your postman probably drives a nicer car than you do. But hey, the gardens are lovely—if you can afford to live near one.
