I don't get this. I live in London, on the edge of zone 1-2; renting a room. Expenses: 510 pounds / month for rent including utilities; 300 pound for food (granted, I haven't really upgraded my lifestyle ever since college -I simply don't feel the need.).

So this comes to 800 pounds + occasional funtime = 1K -still below what they've calculated for most places. Are they really that bad at negotiation?

I think they're looking at the costs for 2 people, and also they've clearly pointed out that they're living fairly comfortably.
