What is the approximate cost of living a decent life in London?

Can anyone please tell me what is the approximate cost of living a decent life in London? This includes rented housing, electricity, water, transportation, food, and other expenses.

Hi Anil,

Being in London and the cost of living is very expensive. But here are some details: If you are staying in a flat on a sharing basis, the rent will be approximately 300-500 pounds per month. If you need a flat to stay alone or with your family, then it will cost 500-700 pounds per month, as my friend has been staying in London and working there for the last 5 years. I have attached a Word document which will give you more information. Have a look and let me know if this helps you. I too applied for a UK Visa; let's see when I will get the Visa.

Take care,
Arati

Dear Friends,
I am also gathering Info. sharing with u which will be helpful to all.
(Below Mentioned)
£1 = RO.77 as the latest update
Pepsi = £1.5
Cup of coffee (Costa and Starbucks) = £0.95 - £3
Normal sandwich = £1.5 - £3
Small water bottle = £0.59-£.85
Big water bottle = £1.05 – £2.60
Rent (2 bedrooms) = Weekly £80 (if living with someone British, otherwise it is £600)
Electricity, Water & Gas = £ 35 each (1 person living)
Fuel = £0.99 / litre
Bus = £1.2 / mile (2.5 miles is the distance from our house to WK roundabout)
Taxi = £2 + £1.2 / mile
These prices are for the countryside cities and towns. Big cities cost more of course
Keep asking, my recommendation: don't live in UK!

Hi,

Thank you for the information about the cost of living in the UK. Moreover, I want to inform you that Dubai is more expensive than the UK. So, I suggest considering settling in our own countries, India or Pakistan, rather than the UK or Dubai. The development and growth rate in our countries are very high nowadays.

Best regards,
