Rising rents in London are driving more adults—often in their 30s and older—to share homes with multiple roommates; for example, a 36-year-old pays £900 for a share of a six-bedroom house, highlighting how typical rents (~£2,200/month) and incomes (£46,000/year) stretch affordability, reduce living space, and spur calls to increase housing supply and mobility.
