When I was staying in London, and if I wanted something within walking distance of the office, I was looking at £1000 per month for a room in a shared house (shared bathroom, shared lounge, shared garden, shared kitchen, no parking).
It ended up being cheaper to stay in a decent B&B close by, where I had an en-suite and a pub next door - and didn't have to deal with 'roomies'!

Did you know that in WWII Stoke-On-Trent was never bombed?
After the war they learned that Stoke-On-Trent was never bombed because when the Luftwaffe flew the photo reconnaissance missions they thought they already had bombed it.....

Can you still get fish and chips in newspaper over there?
FWIW you can't get (decent) fish and chips at all over here! Some years ago I came over to the UK to do a sailing presentation for the Cruising Association. All the presenters went out to a fairly fancy restaurant for dinner in the evening. I had fish and chips - to the amazement of all present. Why? Because you just don't get it here...

You can't even get decent fish & chips in some major cities (unless you want to pay £50 in some celebrity restaurant). When I was working in London, I had to drive about 7 miles to get a 'fair' fish supper...all the ones closer did frozen fish with fries in a polystyrene box.
Seaside fish & chip shops are the best...but our couple of local ones (Liverpool, not London) have been complaining about the cost increases and passing them onto customers...whilst giving bigger portions...so I don't know why they don't go back to the smaller portions and reduce the price?
We order 1 large fish and a portion of chips between 2 people (costs £9.50), and there's usually about 1KG of chips left over
