Okay let me put my experience into this.
I come from Ipswich and went to uni in liverpool. Rent was £95 a week for the an amazing big terraced house and living with mates. Thats £380 a month for the room.
I have now moved to London to work for IBM. Rent is £550 a month for a smaller room living with one mate and two other guys. Needless to say I do all the cleaning and I hate it some times.
My job at IBM is good but I dont have the time to do anything any more. I know some people work more than 9-5 5 days a week but I am really annoyed at how much of my time isnt spent doing what I want.
My advice... don't rush into it and enjoy yourself before starting real life. Avoid london unless youre earning 25K+ otherwise it will all go on rent, living, travelling and you will have no disposable income.
