I did it on 15K seven years ago. Moved up to around 35K in five and a half years, plus all the other stuff i earned on the side, probably took it to 40K. Now live in New York and earn dollars so it's all irrelevant.
I seemed to be out more on 15K than i was on 35K for some reason, don't know how that works, but getting a bike and being sensible with what you eat is the way to saving mucho quids.
Make no mistake though, being in London opens the world up to you. There are an insane amount of opportunities out there that can take you anywhere and money becomes a really insignificant part of the equation when you're experiencing things that only a capital city like that can offer.
When I graduated i nearly stayed in Nottingham. I didn't get the job I wanted and so HAD to move to London to get work, and i can't imagine how different it would have been had i stayed in the east midlands.
