In Man About The House just now the bloke said he pays £7.50 a week in rent, sharing a 3 bed conversion with two girls. 1974. South Ken or Putney apparently.

My parents paid £75/quarter rent from British Waterways (cheaper than the council housing that was the alternative), until they bought their house in the 1990s for a four-figure sum.

And then the government wondered why British Waterways was losing lots of money and turned it into a charity.

I think the Daily Mail revisited old sitcom addresses to see what they're worth now. iirc the winners were Steptoe & Son with a house plus yard in Shepherds Bush.
