Living in the UK – particularly London – is expensive
compared to many places in the World. The cost of living will of course depend on the individual
situation of each person, but you still need to be prepared
financially.
The cost of living in especially London has increased so much over the
last years, that the capital in 2007 became the second most expensive city in
the world. Soaring property prices combined with the most expensive
transport system in the world has put London above Tokyo, Geneva, Paris and New
York. The only city to beat London is Moscow, which tops the poll for the
second year running.
However, the cost of living in the UK is more often than not
outweighed by the opportunities that arise from Living in the economic
centre of Europe.
