That depends a _lot_ on where in London.

My 3 bedroom 1000sqft house with a garden in London has a current rental value of about $1600. That's the difference between living in a leafy, relatively unfashionable suburb in the South of London vs. living in one of the enclaves of rich people or hipsters in the centre of town. I have a 45 minute commute to the centre, door to door.

The analogue is living in Oakland or San Jose. Of course public transportation is much worse in the bay area, if you happen to live and work near the right Caltrain or Bart stops then it can be comparable.
