Rent in London is high but little compared to the other international cities. My experience working for international companies is that a flat that goes for £2000 for me in London can go for $5000 for a coworker in NYC (maybe less now after the pandemic). A factor of 7 is entirely believable for England (non London) and most of the EU.
