got 14K and lived in Earl's Court. paid 600 a month to share very nice flat with one other person. bills were included. living there was the most expensive thing i have ever done but it was great! could walk to lab in 15-20 minutes. High Street Kensington five minutes away. Hyde Park ten minutes. You certainly won't save any money ofcourse, but it is enough to live on.
Yes, Kens is expensive, but if you pick the right parts, you can find accomm that is affordable.
If you pick something like Earl's Court/West Kensington you should find a room in a houseshare for £500-600. If you live further away, you can find cheaper places (e.g. East Acton) but it depends how much time/money you want to spend on transport. Sometimes it's easier and cheaper to live in Zone1 and walk everywhere. Esp when a Monthly Zones 1-3 oystercard is £100!
