Hahaha, confirmed.
One of my nieces and a friend of our daughter studied in London. One of them didn't even have a window in her room and she still paid more than 400 Pounds a month.

Just to clarify a couple of things:
350€ is about £250
£400 won't get you a tiny one-room apartment without windows, that would be amazing! It'll get you a tiny windowless room, in a pretty grim house shared with 3 or 4 (or 5, or 6) other people, in an awful or really out-in-the-sticks location. (You can optimise by substituting some of the factors, but any way you slice it, a £400 room anywhere in Greater London is not going to be good).
Probably the baseline for a studio apartment (I've never seriously looked so could be a bit off) is £800-£900 per month for anywhere resembling a decent location.
yes, they lived in rooms, not appartements indeed.
£400 is 560 euro.
A London resident will need to pay council tax (about £900 per year for the property) and transport (who knows; about £200 per month for zones 1-5).
Going back to 2002 my first flat was a place under a betting shop in Islington and had a door that we couldn't open and had no idea where it went to and that was £600/month. Oh and it smelled of piss and shit.
Though not having a window is illegal
