The impossible cost of London rent ...The Standard podcast

Listen here on your chosen podcast platform.

A report reveals the salaries Londoners need to earn so they can afford a privately rented home in the capital.

Average earnings required are growing ever higher, with more than £76,000 a year now needed, according to research by the G15 group, which represents London’s largest not-for-profit housing associations.

Evening Standard chief political correspondent Rachael Burford examines the report’s findings.

Plus, in part two, Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta plans to build the most physically-imposing Gunners team since Arsène Wenger’s ‘Invincibles’.

Evening Standard football writer Simon Collings discusses Arteta’s strategy to boost the club’s complement of tall players for the new Premier League season.

You can find The Standard on Apple Podcasts, Spotify or wherever you stream.
