Can the last poor* person to leave London please take their kids with them.

WTAF is going on with house prices? I want to move to London but it seems impossible.

I think Surrey's going to be next to remove all traces of the poor.

• By poor I mean anyone on average income or below, so actually, just not rich.

www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/property-46828487.html - shocking - this is what half a million, well over half a million, gets you in Hackney.

Hampstead Road, Somers Town, through Foxtons, just added, looks ok inside and a good location, if you don't mind LA status.

Isn't Somers Town about to be obliterated by the HS2 development into Euston? If you don't lose your home to a compulsory purchase, you'll end up living on the edge of London's biggest building site for years.

Thank you Snow; that certainly explains the 'relatively' low price!
