As office working has become a thing of the past for most of us, the need to live in close proximity to a place of work is no longer a deciding factor when choosing a home. 

According to the Office for National Statistics, with 46.6% of people now working from home, 57.2% of whom live in London, the rise in home working has led to renters searching for bigger homes with capacity for a home office, and as such, has shifted the interest properties on the outskirts of London, slightly further out of the city.

Developments on the outskirts of London are also more popular with families or workers who are searching for a bit of peace and quiet away from the busy city. If you are finding yourself looking for an affordable place to live in London, this guide explains the cheapest places to live in London with our latest London developments.

Golf Residence

Situated in the popular location of Luton, Golf Residence is a new and prestigious development described as “masterpiece accommodation with acres of landscaped gardens and stunning views.” 

With floor to ceiling windows, a private balcony and tranquil views across acres of land, Golf Residence is a desirable location for those not quite wanting the taste of living in London, but still with easy access to the capital via a short drive down the M1, or a 22-minute train journey into central London.

The development is surrounded by world-class golf courses, nestled in a stunning location to all of the local amenities and transport links that Luton has to offer.
