I found that living in w2 was cheaper because I could travel on a zone 1 bus pass instead of a tube pass. The inner city council tax is also much cheaper than outer suburbs. The trade off was a much smaller place, but this was balanced by proximity to the parks and many places to eat out. But the real bonus for me was when I scoreda job around the corner and had a five minute walk to work. I had tons of free time others could oly dream about. Of course I understand that people with families need rooms ad schools and the rest. My time has always been too precious to spend commuting.
