> its really bad in all London I don't disagree with you there. Aside from the Chelsea and Knightsbridge style stories, overall London suffers from a problem of (a) too much buy-to-let nonsense going on (b) off-plan new-build developments which are sold off-plan predominantly to offshore buyers (mostly Chinese using it as a way to get chunks of money out of China, but also other nationalities too). All those new-builds South of the River for example, almost exclusively off-plan jobs. The present government is not helping either. They are unashamedly on the side of the property developers out there to make a quick buck, not Londoners. I absolutely do feel for those on low / minimum wage in London who are pushed out of the market and having to face horrible commutes to be able to live somewhere remotely affordable.
