As someone who lives in London, this is fake.
>> small flat in zone 4 paying out a minimum of £1200 pcm for a 1 bed flat,
Mate, I pay 1600 for a two bedroom big flat with an awesome view (zone 2). Prices didn't get that ridiculous yet.
>>> I was recently charged nine quid for two pints of ale and I took offence.
Fuck you, that's bullshit. If you actually paid that, you've been robbed.
>>>It is effectively out of service on weekends and bank holidays
Yeah, they need to do maintenance regularly, idiot. There's more than one way to get somewhere, you know? It's not like they close the city down.
TLDR this guy may have valid reasons to leave London and the article is well written, but a lot of "facts" are just plain made up or exaggerated.
EDIT
I misread as 9 quid for one pint. 9 for two pints is most definitely correct.
