So, London property is now so expensive even hedge funders are crying into their almond lattes. But really, who’s scrambling to live in a city where the housing ladder has been replaced with a greased pole? Forget affordability—owning in London today is like winning the Euromillions while also discovering your nan secretly left you a Mayfair townhouse. For everyone else, it’s overpriced shoeboxes with free background sirens.

🕶️ ULEZ, Stab Vests, and Black-Hooded Seagulls

Yes, the air might be cleaner, but unless Sadiq Khan introduces a Stabbing Levy Zone (SLEZ), you’ll still need to accessorise with Kevlar. Driving costs a fortune, cabs require you to be polyglot, and pulling out your phone guarantees it’ll be instantly airlifted by London’s hooded “seagulls.” But don’t worry—Tesco’s now operates on the revolutionary “walk in, walk out, don’t pay” model, and the second-hand phone market is booming as a result.

Police presence? Only if you happen to be at a pro-Palestine march—otherwise, your local Ned is the new sheriff in town. At least you’ll have a clear conscience knowing you’re helping fund Met overtime with your council tax. 🙃
