Places like Crouch End and Harringay are now well beyond the budget of anyone with less than £1m.
We couldn't afford to upsize in Forest Gate after doing the now-typical Walthamstow -> Leyton/stone -> Forest Gate progression looking for affordable places.
I did look south despite not knowing it that well and it looked like the same kind of story. £650k and up for a three bed that was within a 15 minute walk of a mainline station if you were lucky.

I'm 15, 18 and 22 minutes from 3 different stations (diff lines, so options), it takes 15-20 minutes to get to London Bridge or Charing Cross, a 3 bed house with front and back garden is less than £500k. Zone 3.

You reckon real people are actually doing it?
I can't get my head around who has access to £1m either through cash or loan only to spend it on a small terrace in somewhere that's...sorry guys who live there...a bit...neither here nor there? I guess I'm old enough to remember times when £1m was a fuck-tonne of money that really set people apart.
