Based on talking to peers at my company who work in the UK, and corroborating stories from friends at similar companies, UK salaries are dramatically lower across the board.

You can replace "UK" by "the rest of the world" and it would still be accurate. For example, UK has probably the highest salaries in Europe.

A one bedroom is not $3000+ either.

A one bedroom in London is easily $2000 though, so that only explains $12k difference in salary.

Doesn't make sense to count in dollars. You are not paid in dollars in London.

It's fluff talk about the exchange rate. It sure was more than $2000 last year when it was £1 for $1.5.

They very easily are. And cost per square foot is higher in London, so you're in a smaller place.
