Expensive to live in, but with high earnings and exceptional schools. Hammersmith and Fulham’s median house price is a steep 14.7 times median annual pay, and rent consumes a considerable 68.5% of gross median earnings, both among the highest in London. However, median weekly pay is also high at £917.30, exceeding the London median. The real draw here is education, with 100% of pupils in Good or Outstanding schools, the best in the region. This place suits those prioritising educational outcomes and career potential over affordability, and who can tolerate higher crime rates than the London average.
