Without wanting to sound like a broken record, house prices in London are absoLUTELY *!&$^*! @*!£ *&^£?£% “*£$@*%…sorry, please excuse us. That was terribly rude. But it’s true; they are an absolute joke. And to make things worse, over at Secret London we lack the will power not to look and see what our hard earned money could get us elsewhere. And so we just had to show you too because we’re nice like that, and we want you to feel bad about your living situation as well. (That is, if you’re in a position to buy at all – which seems somewhat fanciful (delusional) right now considering these ridiculous findings…)
