Living in Greater London on your own really isnt an option for most people, unless you want 20p a week disposable income. You might be able to buy a shoe box. But then if you want to live in the worlds greatest city then it’ll cost you!
You might be able to find a small rented place in Brixton or Willesden but forget any ideas about the worlds greatest city and the neighbours/natives won’t exactly be friendly either
But if London was really that great all the zb Londoners would’nt want to live in Surrey instead and keep calling for us to wreck even more of the county to build yet more houses for the zb’s.
Good lord did you just compare London unfavourably to Geneva?! Have you been to either? If so your are indeed nuts!
Geneva been there and through it loads of times and Lausanne etc etc and don’t think that there’s many bankers who are rushing to sell up and move to the London zb hole from there unlike from London to there.With good reason.But if you know different maybe you could explain what the Swiss problem is
.
Certainly, having like you been there I can confirm it’s boring, very very boring. Stereotype I know but then most of them are true. London may in places be grubby, sometimes seedy, frantically busy and sometimes stressful but I’d take the huge diverse always intresting and always exciting melting pot that is the worlds greatest city over anywhere in Switzerland, or indeed the world, any day.
Oh and I wouldn’t look to bankers for advice on anything, not even banking, let alone the best place to live.
I’d definitely look to bankers for advice on lining my own pockets at everyone else’s expense and then,just like proffessional footballers,spending the money on the best living standards possible and that does’nt usually include living in London .
But the issue of Switzerland being boring depends on your definition of boring.
You don’t really compare like for like though. You compare Geneva with Southall in a later post. It’s a fact that many of the worlds most expensive houses are in London. Just look at that new Candy Brothers development by Hyde Park for instance. You seem to think all the rich people live in Geneva, they don’t, people with money come to London because they want a life in a world city, not a sleepy back water in Switzerland. The more you post the more I question why you live here at all.
Name me one high profile Geneva resident and I’ll give you 10 higher profile ones that live in London for every name you mention.
Your wasting your time carryfast wants to live in some heartbeat style 1960s utopia.
I’m from London and we lived there 2008/9. After the credit crunch put paid to my attempt to start a global courier empire using a ten year old Ford Courier 
it was time to dust off the class 2. All I can say is that rates are about the same in Northants, but there is more and better quality work. But the main difference is that instead of a pokey, shabby, one bedroom flat in hammersmith we now rent a 2 bed house with a garden in a nice area for nearly HALF the money.
Here we go Carry, turns out the worlds super rich want to live in New York, London, Moscow and even Istanbul long before Geneva.

Oh and this is just a response to Carryfast who thinks the quality of a city depends on how many rich people live there. I think it’s the normal people that make London great, not the rich in their gated communities. London is exciting because it’s so diverse.
milton keynes can be expensive, try wolverton, places around here arnt too bad and they is a main line station on the doorstep, the place i have costs me £80 a week all inc(2 rooms)…just ashame im only in it bout 3/4 nites a month, the land lady must love me, but to compensate i do leave the storage heater on now and again to keep her electric meter running a little when im ijn my pad.
I live in Enfield! And I rent a council place for £400.00 sheets a month!!
But for that I’d have to move out as private rental is not possible unless you work to live!
New York or Paris are the only comparisons to London in the World!

Yes because I’ve never been anywhere have I Mr Keith? Heaven forfend that my view of London has been formed after travelling to nearly all of the European capitals and many world cities.
Maybe you need to travel more.

Paris Barcelona Istanbul and new York are the only other city’s in londons league.
Well that’s in my opinion
I’d put, possibly predictably, San Francisco into that group. Its so amazing it really took me by surprise.
