Can I Live in London on £33k a Year?
Post Body

Hi everyone,

I'm at the beginning of my career and have been offered a job in London with a starting salary of £33,000 a year. My salary is expected to increase after I qualify. I'm trying to figure out if it's feasible to live comfortably in London on this salary, and I would really appreciate some advice from those who have experience with living in the city.

Specific Questions:

  1. Is it realistic to live in London on £33k a year, considering rent, bills, and general living expenses?

  2. What areas or zones would you recommend that are affordable yet safe and convenient for commuting?

  3. Would a house share be more realistic to manage costs effectively? If so, any tips on finding good house shares?

  4. Any budgeting tips or cost-saving advice for someone new to London?

  • I'm willing to consider living a bit further out if it means more affordable rent.

  • I'll be relying mostly on public transportation for commuting.

Thank you in advance for any insights or recommendations you can share!

Edit: Forgot to mention, I'm open to any general advice on moving to and living in London. All tips are welcome!
