According to the Sky News of September 26, hard-pressed London commuters are increasingly turning to camping rather than paying exorbitant rents in the capital。

　　"Camping commuters" are pitching their tents or parking their caravans from monday to friday and retreating to more permanent homes at the weekends。

　　Lucy Boggis, from Wiltshire in the UK, said: "People think of it as a summer holiday in their little caravan, but as long as you've got a caravan that doesn't leak, you're as good as being in your bedroom at home。

　　Prices do vary and Lee Valley Park in London is among the more expensive sites in London, with single campers paying midseason rates of £122.50(about＄194) per week, including electricity。

　　However, that is still less than half the average weekly rent of £250 (about ＄395)for a one-bedroom flat in London Zones 2 or 3, according to the accommodation website Outlet。

　　据英国天空新闻网9月26日报道，现在，伦敦越来越多“资金短缺”的上班族倾向于在城市露营以减少昂贵的租房费用。

　　这群被称为“露营上班族”的人通常在周一到周五会选择住在旅游帐篷或者拖车里，等到周末才会回到自己租住的公寓中。

　　来自英国威尔特郡的上班族露西•伯吉斯表示：“很多人都会认为它们(旅游帐篷或者拖车)只有在暑假时才会派上用场。但只要你的帐篷或者车保持良好的密封性，它们同样可以作为一个非常好的卧室。”

　　事实上，(这样的露营生活并不是免费的)，价格各异。比如类似伦敦Lee Valley公园就是比较昂贵的，每个露营者平均每周需要向公园管理方交纳122.5英镑(大约194美元)的费用，其中包括电费。

　　不过，这样的价格与租房费用相比还是相当便宜的。英国一家租房网站Outlet的调查显示，在伦敦2区或者3区租1间1居室的租金高达每周250英镑(大约395美元)。
