What do these three movies have in common?

There are actually at least 2 things:

  1. They are all Oscar winners
  2. Their action happens at one point in London

Property Division did a top 10 of locations in London that appeared in famous movies that got an Oscar:

Kensington Gardens

Canary Wharf

Buckingham Palace

Scotland Yard

Greenwich Royal Naval College

Waterloo Station

Somerset House

Westminster Cathedral

Regent’s Park

Royal Naval College

Living outside London is definitely cheaper. Apparently, the further away, the smaller house prices are. Here’s the math:

60 minutes to the city = minus £480,000 off the property price

40 minutes to the city = minus $372,255 off the property price

20 minutes to the city = minus £299,328 off the property price

House prices in commuter towns around London substantially cheaper

So choose how much time you are willing to spend on the road and make your savings budget!
