I was offered a single room (small but livable) 5 minutes walk off Brick Lane for £535 all incl. If you work in Shoreditch you can easily walk to work, so no transport costs. That leaves £500 for food & other spend. If you cook for yourself this is very plausible. Of course finding a room like that and getting it over the other dozens of people who want it is not that easy, but that's a system you can hack too.
