when it comes to offering the best deal for
commuting to London when looking at the
difference between average house prices,
cost and time of commuting, and annual
salaries.
The Lloyds Bank report states that the
average house price in Peterborough is
£182,114, whereas in central London buyers
can expect to pay up to £722,000.
The average London salary is just under
£47,000, meaning that people choosing to live

buy a house for just 3.4 times their average

travel was also relatively small

the city center and the surrounding townships
of Orton, Bretton and Werrington. If you're
