Default Absolutely, council tax is dreadful.

Nay, once you have chosen where you want to live, we will be able to post you information regarding the council tax. This tax (which is compulsory) is around 1500-3000 UK pounds a year and is on top of all the other utilities. Failure to pay this tax can end in a prison sentence - no joke. A robber is more likely to get a slap on the hand than a jail sentence.

No way to forget about it.

There is "cheap" property in Kensington and Chelsea, the problem is that is too small for a family (what you pay there for 1 bedroom flat in a bad part of the borough would be enough to pay a 2 or 3 bed in East London).
