>>> the cost of getting by — long ago went past insane (£17,040: the cost per year of educating a four year-old child at Thomas’s school in Fulham, not including uniform).

Note that this is only if you send your child to private school, not merely "getting by". Even among the middle classes, this is not very common, especially at four years old. The nicer parts of London have some of the best state schools in the country.

Spot on, and looking at the last paragraph: > Whisper it: 2018 will be the year smug Londoners finally stopped boring on about basement and loft conversions at smart dinner parties Sounds like someone who just against rich rather providing facts. The article seems to target the expensive areas in negatively emotional approach.

'The nicer parts of London have some of the best state schools in the country.'

Which, ironically, is a major driver in the rising cost of housing in these areas.
