As those of you who live in London know, rent prices are bananas. These days, it's not unheard of for some people to pay upwards of £800 for a room in a shared house.
But if you look hard enough, there are still a few pockets of the capital that aren't too horrendously priced. Sure, next to any other city in the UK, it's still outrageous, but for London, paying £515 for a double room in a shared house is nothing short of a miracle.
To help us out, Spare Room have released, in their quarterly update, a list of postcodes where people can still find rooms for under £580 a month.
Click through to find out where these magical places are.
Where is it? The historic county of Kent. It's past Greenwich, it's past Woolwich.
How do I get anywhere? It's half an hour to Cannon Street on the train. But it IS set to be on Crossrail, which means that from December 2018 you're going to be able to get from Abbey Wood station to Whitechapel in just 15 minutes. That's not bad, not bad at all...
What's there? There is a Greggs. So that's good. There's also the Lesnes Abbey Ruins which are really rather remarkable. And a pub called the Abbey Arms? You might have to head elsewhere for happening nightlife but there is a Sainsbury's. And a Greggs. Did we mention Greggs?
What's the average room rent? It's £515. Which, according to SpareRoom, gets you a lovely double room (ensuite, hello) in a five-bed house-share. Also, that's bills and a cleaner included.

What's there? Lots of really useful shops that you never get to go to living in London – like a massive Morrisons, a Wilko (hiya cheap homeware), an Aldi and an Argos. It's a bit quiet on the café and bar front but there's a massive leisure centre with a pool and gym which are really affordable.
