Thirty-somethings are leaving London in droves, with the rate of people leaving the city more than 80% higher than five years ago, according to analysis by property agents Savills. 93,000 Londoners left for places outside the capital between mid-2015 to mid-2016.

But with ever increasing living costs, is a new generation of young people just bypassing London altogether? We want to hear from readers who’ve chosen to start their career outside the capital (or who are thinking about doing so). Why does London not appeal to you? We also want to hear from readers who have recently left London – why does the city no longer hold the appeal it once did.
