The impossible cost of London rent

The Standard

A report reveals the salaries Londoners need to earn so they can afford a privately rented home in the capital.

Average earnings required are growing ever higher, with more than £76,000 a year now needed, according to research by the G15 group, which represents London’s largest not-for-profit housing associations.

Evening Standard chief political correspondent Rachael Burford examines the report’s findings.

Plus, in part two, Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta plans to build the most physically-imposing Gunners team since Arsène Wenger’s ‘Invincibles’.

Evening Standard football writer Simon Collings discusses Arteta’s strategy to boost the club’s complement of tall players for the new Premier League season.
