The housing market in London distorts that of SE England, and indeed the country as a whole.
Housing costs are prohibitively expensive in London for anyone on an average salary.
If you're a hedge fund manager, banker or hotshot lawyer, a decent home will be within your means.
If you're a nurse, firefighter, teacher, or other 'key worker', broadly speaking, you don't stand a chance of living anywhere near your place of work.
There are a number of Government sponsored schemes to assist key workers with housing purchase or rental simply in order to keep these vital services going.
