I'm living in London and quite central too (Zone 2). Camden is expensive but you can get a 1br for $2000-25000 - I've been looking recently. And come on, Belgravia isn't really somewhere your average developer will be expecting to live. Of course it's expensive. It's round the corner from Westminster and Buckingham Palace. For a better comparison I live in a good area of East London, 20 mins on the tube from central. I share a 3 br apartment with 2 friends and pay about $800 per month.

You have to compare like for like living out in zone 2/3 with 35/45 min commute is not the same as Central SF. That's like comparing costs in Bedford 65 miles away from London fast train take's 35 mins to St Pancras - Slow train is less than an hour to the city.

  >> "You have to compare like for like living out in zone 2/3 with 35/45 min commute is not the same as Central SF." I said Zone 2, 20 mins out. I guess it's really impossible to compare. London's a much bigger city with so much in the centre (tourist stuff in particular) that I don't think it would actually be very nice to live there. Whereas if I lived in SF I would like to live quite central.
