    So you’re telling me the median monthly wage in the uk is ~800€, yeah right…

    Yeah, I don’t live in the UK, but that cannot be right. Maybe the author confused disposable income or per capita income with income or something like that.

    That has it at maybe £2300 per month.

    Also, as a lesser note, they should really be comparing wages in London to housing costs in London, not wages in the UK as a whole to housing costs in London.
