London's housing market is at breaking point and is nearly totally unaffordable

Britain's house prices are continually rising but Londoners have it the worst.

Not only is the average house worth more than £500,000 ($664,107), according to the Office for National Statistics, but people's salaries are not rising fast enough to keep up with property price inflation.

The average Londoner's salary is only just above £30,000. In fact, wage growth is a huge problem for the whole of Europe.

HSBC released a huge chartbook this week detailing the state of the UK housing market.

And nestled within the report are some key charts that show how London's property market is at near-breaking point because homes are becoming unaffordable for the average worker.
