You should add more to the salary you'll need for rent, yes. There's a reason for London weighting. One bedroom flat to rent privately where I live = £800-£1000 for a non-luxury flat. But then, that's within fifteen minutes' walk of Liverpool St, so if you worked there, there'd be no travel costs. There are cheaper places within five minutes' walk of a train station that's twenty mnutes' journey to various hubs. All other costs are pretty much the same as anywhere else in the country, really. Rent's all that counts.
Unless you're transferring within a company, in which case you should go for every stereotype that you can think of.

I had the oppertunity of taking a Job in London recently, I was asking on these boards for advice, my Salary would have been 27-28K, but I have expensive tastes and I'm not brilliant at managing money.
In the end something local came up at my company and the terms and conditions were much better with regards to rest days and holidays I'm now on about 25K, as the cost of living in the East Midlands is much lower I'm staying put for the moment. But as I get free travel and I have lots of friends in the South East I still find myself in and around london 3 times a month minimum.
As I understand it the golden rule of letting agents is that no more than a third of your income should be spent on putting a roof over your head. So in order to rent my own place in London I'd want to be on £30k minimum I reckon.
As my GF is down South it may yet happen, but I think part of her is tempted to move up here.
