I can confirm this. Permanent salaries in the UK are OKish. Contracting is where the money is at. An intermediate developer can pretty easily make £500 a day. If you can make yourself indispensable, or pick a tech stack used in finance, then £700-800 isn't uncommon. As a benchmark, £600 a day is roughly equivalent to $200K USD permanent salary.
