Innit! £650 is a cheek. She will be right in the heart of what most people on DSF would love to experience though. Plus it's only 6 months. I respect her following her dreams and making things happen.

Yeah, I suppose £85 isn't too bad. Just the figure £650 makes me cringe when I know exactly how much I have to work to make that much.
South LDN FTW!

I'd pay 650 for a place at that location I think. Was paying that much in Cambridge 5 years ago ffs.

Split between two isn't so bad then...I just thought you mentioned one bedroom, so presumed it was one person. :lol:

Big up the move. Quite jealous!!

New developments on this front is I'm moving in with a friend now who has just got a job in Maidenhead. She still wants to be in London but we're looking more towards the west to cut down the commute. She's mentioned Ealing & the surrounding areas. Any thoughts? Thanks !
