Rental is insane across the entirety of Zones 1-3, not just in the north of the city

  Right, and if you want to live in a "leafy green" part of zones 4, 5 and 6, with good transport into central London expect to pay close to zone 2 prices (e.g. Richmond, Wimbledon, even Beckenham, etc.). A 2 bed in Richmond will set you back £1400/month +. And that's a slightly amazing 40min commute (via Waterloo).

    Only if you are really selective about wanting to live in the expensive leafy green areas. There are plenty of "leafy green" parts of Croydon, for example, where prices for a 2 bed is more in the 800-1000/month range. 1400/month will give you a large house with a garden many places here. Heck, if I could get 1400/month to rent out my 3 bedroom house with a garden, I'd have enough left after paying my mortgage to rent a 2 bed flat nearby (though that admittedly is because I struck it lucky with a very favorable tracker mortgage).
