Non-Londoners, what sort of a salary increase would convince you to relocate there?

As per the thread title, how much more would you need to be paid in order to convince you to relocate to London (Central)?

Of course the main reason I'm asking is that I'm in this situation at the moment of considering two different jobs. I'm early-thirties, engaged to a man who can run his company from anywhere with good internet and would be amenable to the move. We don't have strong family ties to our current home city, though we'd be a lot further from them if we moved to London.

Taking into account the massively-increased cost of living, commuting time and costs, busier lifestyle and other probably basic differences I'm yet to consider, it's quite complex. I'd love to hear opinions and what your price might be - I'm sure for a lot of people no amount of money would be enough.

PotolBabu- sounds really like our street. I love the idea that one must pay school fees in London. London. With famously the best schools in the country. I don't know anyone who uses private school! Not everyone lives in Putney. I think spending a lot of time in Central London gives a really skewed view of what it's like to actually live here.

JoJo- that's true and does make us about average for London, then (well it makes me above average and DH below). My job doesn't really exist outside London but on the odd occasion I've seen something similar it's about 20k less and not as exciting.
