10% is very believable. 20% isn’t implausible, e.g. Cambridge to London is £6k which would be about 20% of your net income if you were employed earning £40k (and putting nothing into salary sacrifice for pension).
Plenty of young people live in London on that sort of income but it’s obviously more difficult to make it work if you want to live alone or with more space for eg a family and I guess this is a big reason for people wanting to live outside the city. Though Cambridge is a slightly weird option there: the town is expensive and so are the tickets.
