I think £27k is the UK average or the southeast average? I thought the london average was closer to £60k? I can't find a source for that though.

- 3princip 12y agoMy mistake, I just looked at wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Income_in_the_United_Kingdom#Income_distribution_across_UK_regions_2007 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Income_in_the_United_Kingdom#In... It's 2007 and income distribution is probably per capita rather than average salary. In that case it's not as extreme as I've implied. EDIT: A newspaper article from last year claims the UK average is 26k, so London is probably significantly higher. http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/uk-average-salary-26500-figures-3002995 http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/uk-average-salary-26500...
- blowski 12y agoIs that the mean or the median average? From what I know, there are a large number of people earning more than £250K, but a massive group that earns around £20-25K - supermarket workers, nurses, primary school teachers, etc. It's that latter group that simply can't afford to live in London in safe, comfortable environment.
