Yes, But London is ridiculous. A few years ago I looked at a one room crappy apartment of about 250 Square-feet, 10 subway stops outside of Londons circle line, and they wanted 625£ a week. At the time that would have been 4000$ and that would have gotten me a something considerably larger and nicer in San Francisco. When you start thinking of San Francisco as a good value housing option you know something has gone horribly wrong. I love London in many ways, and at one point I was considering moving, but now, its just not reasonable. San Francisco has many faults, but at least its _the_ place to be in tech, so if that what you want to do, it might be worth it. London doesn't have anything (Finance, arts) you cant get in other places.
