Coronavirus: London renting ‘feels different’ after lockdown

Job losses and a shift to remote working led many young people to leave London during lockdown.

Fewer workers has reportedly led to a decrease in rents in some London boroughs, according to housing website Zoopla.

The City of London has seen a 6% drop in rents since March 2020 and in Tower Hamlets it's 5%.

But will cheaper accommodation costs be enough to bring young people back to the capital.
