2nd October 2015

The FT examines the London Underground Rent Map, a tube station map that also displays the average monthly cost of renting a one-bed flat within a one kilometre radius, which has gone viral on social media. The average rent for a one-bed flat within walking distance of a Tube station is said to be £1,327 and of all the Tube stations in London, only a quarter have one beds to rent costing £1,000 a month or less. Canary Wharf comes in slightly above the average, at £1,544; Canning Town will set a renter back £1384, Canada Water £1340, and Bromley-by-Bow £1228.
