Renting in London has never been cheap, and it's not set to get any cheaper any time soon as there are now just two London postcodes that still offer an average rent of £750 a month.
It comes as the latest figures from Homes & Property, owned by houseshare portal SpareRoom, found that the cost of rent has quickly risen.
With it finding London's more affordable area's have seen a sudden rise in rent that is disproportionate to many other areas.
At the start of the year, there were still a number of postcodes that had an average rent of below £700.
However, now into the year's second quarter, there are just two postcodes where the rent is now below £750 a month.

Although rent has increased in all areas, the two below £750 are Manor Park, E12 and Thamesmead, SE28.
