unless you're on big boy salary i wouldnt recommend living in London (well renting), it can cost you so much.

A friend of mine trains it from Rugby to London Euston everyday... costs £7k pa but only takes an hour + her tube trip from Euston to wherever it is she works in C.London
£7,000 on trains a year 
Her pay rise moving from rugby to london more than compensated for it!

True dat! My mates Dad is an Underground Driver and he's on £34,000 pa 
That's low! Most are on about 40k?
They're lucky if they get to drive on Victoria or Central Line, they don't have to do fuck all except open the doors, it's all automatic! I know a couple of train drivers who've passed degree's from reading books in the train cab.

TBH I'm sure it's more than £34k, but I didn't know if that sounded stupid. £34k was a saftey net

London is a shit hole. You're gonna be spending near on £15-20K on rent/mortgage anyway, so unless you're gonna earn £50K+ it's very not worth it.
