It is well established that prices RyanAir advertises are not prices passengers pay.
Given the option of the hassle and commute, people would prefer to just live in London. Which is the whole point- real estate pricing is efficient in this case.

Not true. An EU regulation in force since 2008 makes that illegal [1]. Ryanair, for all its other faults, abides by the law.
[1] Article 23, Regulation No 1008/2008. PDF: http://eur-lex.europa.eu/LexUriServ/LexUriServ.do?uri=OJ:L:2... "The final price to be paid shall at all times be indicated and shall include the applicable air fare or air rate as well as all applicable taxes, and charges, surcharges and fees which are unavoidable and foreseeable at the time of publication."
The prices on the website are exactly what you pay, as long as you pay by debit card and don't check luggage.
