Salary/living costs in UK

Hi,
I am now slowly finishing my work in Germany and thinking about moving to UK next year. If I decide to move, I will be getting a job at the University of Oxford as a Postdoc with salary starting from 30k GBP pa. After taxation (single, no kids) it will leave me with around 2000 pounds per month. Is it enough to survive? I looked at some postings of flats and I could probably get something in the range of 600-800 per month. By the way, flats are quite expensive in UK :-D, here in Essen, one room apartment with all the bills paid cost me 350 Euro!!!
Thanks in advance for suggestions and your opinions. Cheers, Greg
