Personally, I shared a house with 5 other people, it was a bit far, very expensive and not that clean. But anyway it was nice to live with other people even if they were working all the time!

Personal spending habits
London is EXPENSIVE! The 2nd most expensive city after Tokyo! Plan your money before you go! It costs between 600 pounds (if you are a great saver) and 1000 Pounds to live there... Do not expect less...
