I lived comfortably in zone 2 on £40k a year.

I was paying £250 a week rent for a one bedroom flat in a complex with gym + pool in zone 2.

Rent prices are a little higher than they were two years ago now though!

Prices are generally higher now. How much were you spending on commute?

It was approximately £20 a week.

In the summer I used to walk which took around 40 minutes so I spent a little less.
