Coronavirus: London renting ‘feels different’ after lockdown

Job losses and a shift to remote working led many young people to leave the capital.

Fewer workers and tourists have reportedly led to a decrease in rents in some London boroughs.

But will cheaper accommodation costs be enough to bring back young people who left the capital during lockdown?
