The
cost of living in London can be on the expensive
side, especially when you first get there and
are still spending your precious local currency.
Best advice, for obvious reasons, is to start
earning £'s as soon as possible. Accommodation
costs vary from area to area with the further
outlying areas being cheaper, as a rule of thumb.
However, this saving can be dented by the increased
travel costs of living less centrally.
We have provided a guide to the prices of a number
of goods and services below. Please note that
these are only a guide and can vary. |
