New London Underground map shows how expensive it is to rent stop-by-stop

 
 
Ever wanted to see what London rent looks like across the Capital? With this Tube map, now you can. Another handy London Underground map has been released, this time showing how expensive it is to rent at each Tube stop...

Website Thrillist has put together a rent map showing the median monthly cost for a one-bedroom flat within a km of each Tube station on the entire network.
It includes information from every Tube line except the Circle line, because every stop on the Circle line is present on another one.
 
The most expensive place to live is Hyde Park Corner on the Piccadilly Line at £2,920, and the cheapest is Hatton Cross, next to Heathrow Airport, at £324.
 
Unsurprisingly, the data - collected with the help of website Find Properly - showed that the closer you get to Central London, the higher prices climb.

  1. Hatton Cross - £324
  2. Redbridge - £488
  3. South Ruislip - £552
  4. Ruislip Gardens - £552
  5. Elm Park - £552
  6. Croxley - £680
  7. Upton Park - £692
  8. Hounslow West - £732
  9. Ruislip Manor - £732
  10. Barkingside - £736
These prices may seem steep - if you aren't from London - but this doesn't come as a huge surprise after news that living in a tiny shed in someone's living room could set you back over £500 a month.
The London rent crisis is nicely summed up by the map, which shows just how far out you have to live if you are not earning much money. This has actually caused a job crisis - entry-level workers are being priced out of the capital because of soaring rents.

This has meant that employers are having a tough time finding workers for lower-paid jobs.
