So, what is a good salary in London? Honestly? It’s the one that lets you sleep at night without checking your bank app in a cold sweat. For a single person, £50k to £60k is a solid “happy zone.”
But don’t get hung up on the number. London is weird—you can earn a ton and still feel broke, or earn a modest sum and have the best time ever by living cleverly. Your peace of mind is the real currency.
So, what’s your vibe? Are you the shared-flat-with-a-balcony dreamer, or the one-bedroom-sanctuary seeker? Figure that out, and the salary will follow. And hey, if you can buy the fancy cheese and still pay your rent, you’re doing just fine.
