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.

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.
