What kind of salary is necessary to live somewhat comfortably in London right now? And is that achievable for a senior or should you consider roommates?

definitely achievable for a senior. in London you start living comfortably with a 40k salary (assuming you dont get takeout every day) and a senior should easily be earning more than that. depending on area, rent for a studio, 1-bedroom or room in a shared flat will be between 800-1500 per month. use a take home pay calculator online to see how big your budget is and go from there.

No less than 40k

Whole house may be over 2000 for one

rent per month in london is minimum 1.6K per month, so per month your salary should be around 2.5K, so around 30K a year
