London is Expensive
I am very tight for time unfortunately, and my guess is that I will have a much longer post about this, but I am glad I am traveling in London on someone else’s money, because this place is bloody expensive. The hotel rooms are very expensive, but my pet peeve on this trip is that in hotel rooms the internet access is typically 15 pounds per 24 hour stint? Yes, I am using that access to write this post, so it is at least ironic in that area too.
How does anyone afford to live here is the question that keeps popping up in my head. Maybe it is cheaper to live somewhere, but I suspect that is not the case for downtown London.
I apologize for the shortness of this post, but my job awaits me.

I have read that London is expensive because there is a moratorium on expanding the city beyond its current limits. Something called a green belt. Ostensibly, it was to preserve the rural setting of agriculture and such, but it could be argued that land owners in the city just wanted to increase the value of their holdings.
