Glad you had a mostly enjoyable trip, given the circumstances. Agree that March isn't the best time to visit!

Hope you get over again soon with more time to explore.

I saw a one bedroom maisonette, 388 sf, for £230,000. At 1.7 that is the equivalent of $1,000 per square foot. On a par with the "outrageously expensive" Vancouver.

Toronto apartments go for $1000/sq. ft. I'd expect Vancouver to be a bit more expensive but nowhere near as costly as London. When my daughter bought in Vancouver 2022 I teased her that for that money she didn't have to live there, she could afford Camden Town, but we checked and, no, not quite.

Is it still an area where people live because it’s all they can afford though? Or is it somewhere like Streatham that is now super trendy and popular??
