Bromley
Local Authority · London, England · population ~333k · 100 state-funded schools
Affordable for London, but not cheap. Bromley offers a median house price 10.5 times median annual pay, a more manageable multiple than the London average, and rents take 40% of gross pay, lower than the capital's median. Recorded crime is also below the London average at 69.9 per 1,000. However, pay is strong, with median weekly earnings of £964.50 higher than 96% of England authorities. This suits families prioritising good schools, with 99% of pupils in Good or Outstanding places, and a lower deprivation score than most of London.
