Not sure about London, but here in Toronto, since you are still technically a junior, probably around 35-40k.

You can take a look at this site as well for information: www.vfxwages.com

Imagination is more important than knowledge.

well I reckon for those 2 years you are looking at around 30 -35 GBP, notjust london but around the country. If I were working abroad I'd bump it up a bit.
