“When a man is tired of London, he is tired of life,” so the saying goes. But men and women between the ages of 30 and 39 are fleeing the capital. Are property prices just driving them out, or is London really cooling? Will the supposed mass migration prompt a rebalancing of pricing and opportunities?

Student loans and high property prices have left many young adults with no option but to move back home. But between a perceived loss of independence and the added financial burden on households, how does this return impact the relationships between parents and their grown-up children?
