I live outside of London and commute in via a high-speed rail link - take me about an hour to get into the office. The rents are about half the price and the 'quality of life' is about the same, especially since friends in London are still quite close. I used to live in London, was paying £1050 a month for a shitty one bedroom apartment miles away from the center - had no spare money and took just as long to commute!

My GF and I pay 1150 a month for a 3-bed house in Bow. Commute by scooter to Camden is about 12 minutes without traffic, 18 minutes with. Rush hour public transport takes about an hour. Unless you have a serious podcast addiction or an enormous reading list, it's not worth it. Two wheels - motorized or not - are the way to go in London.
