I have given up hope trying to remain in the same areas - Peckham / Camberwell / Brixton etc... I would like South London somewhere but then work is in Kings X, so I am easy to an extend. A lot of my colleagues communte into St Pancras / Euston which takes them like 2 hours door to door easily and like £5000+ a year... that would probably mean bye bye to my daily cycling... so I have set myself a target of about 13 miles radius to Kings X, which would mean about an hour cycle, but even this is somwhat difficult with the budget I have.
Just got a call from an agent today actually, it was what looks to be a 2-bed ex council right bang in the middle of a giant roundabout in Croydon for £225,000...

Depends what you want and where you want it. If you want to live in the middle of Soho, then you'll have to accept a shoebox. If you want to live slightly further out, then you'll get something marginally bigger. Outside the M25 there are some real bargains to be had, but you've got a commute on your hands with ticket prices as big as Liberia's defecit.
