May I know whether I will get offer letter by next week.

It’s manageable but won’t help with saving whatsoever. If you haven’t lived in/around London before, just know that there are many expenses that don’t usually get accounted for. Council tax, numerous utility bills. Train fares are crazy too!
Check a post tax salary calculator to see how much you’d have in hand after all deductions. Depending how you rent, there’s a high chance rent will increase after the first year by about 5-10%
Having said that, getting a job isn’t easy either, so if this is the only offer it may be worth securing it while you can explore other jobs.
60k won’t go that far- but you’ll still be able to afford a decent flat and a nice life- just won’t be saving tones. Will definitely feel like less than in the midlands- but there will be more opportunities in London to earn more / get experiences you’d find harder to get staying put.
