Geez - I knew London was expensive, but...
...this is ridiculous.
£65,000 monthly rent for a family home in Wimbledon see http://www.countrylife.co.uk/en_GB/p...roperty/107241 That's about $128k - a month! |

That's cheap for london, to buy anything like that there you wouldn't get much change out of 1 or 2 million.

I am more concerned with hotel prices in London, myself. Might be visiting sometime in 2008.

I hope Glasgow is cheaper than London, I'm planning on spending a few nights there later in 2008 before and after heading up to Stornoway and then the Shetlands for a week or two. Haven't budgeted it yet though.

Hey, we may be going up to Glasgow too! Plus, I have this plan of getting together a bunch of webmasters for a meeting in London, maybe you can take the train and join us there? Would be awesome if we could finally meet

I probably won't be going until September or October though, likely October. Once in my life I'd like to see the place my ancestors were thrown out of 200 years ago

http://www.foxtons.co.uk/properties/...n-mayfair.html It's that fake thing of status living in those areas. Hotel prices will depend like anywhere i would of thought but the UK is definately not cheap. |

When we travel to England we treat Pounds as equal to Canadian Dollars even though they are worth twice as much. It makes for a VERY expensive trip.

However don't expect a bargain, London hotel prices were high even when the dollar was worth something, and with the dollar now in the toilet they will seem even higher to you. |

If there is nobody out there, that's a lot of real estate going to waste!

I think prices in London and other places like Japan are only going to skyrocket in the future. Get your piece of paradise while you can.

Although, of course, if you are buying in $US and the dollar continues to fall, you will get even less £UK for your $US, so prices will appear to go up to Americans. |

My wife and I went to Switzerland for 7 days and when we got back my wife said she would have preferred to buy all new appliances and save some of the money instead of spending it on the trip we took....how crazy is that...and that was last year, before the dollar went to shit...
