Hi silverarr; I'm from the UK and work within the industry, so I can help you with this.

£40-45k p/a is pretty average within London, where living expenses are higher, for a mid-experience sort of job.

However, £40-45k p/a will give you much more 'bang for your buck' in a location such as Bristol, where there's a pretty good tech community.

Hope this helps a little,

JLT
