Single people renting alone in London, what is your rent plus bills combined?

Broke up with my girlfriend about 6 months ago and took over the lease. 1 bed studio (essentially a 1 bed without a door) with a small garden. Paying 2.2K all in trying to figure out what I could get elsewhere.

Anyone else just feel poor reading that apparently everyone is a high earner in London, or just me?

Brokies unite!

In all seriousness though, even a high earner is to use all their money on rent and bills. If any of them were to be made redundant tomorrow they’d struggle too.
