How much does it really cost to live, work, or travel in ? Here's what to expect for daily expenses and expat living.
Visiting the United Kingdom offers a fantastic blend of culture, history, and convenience—but it can be pricey, especially in London. For a one-week mid-range stay, travelers should budget around GBP £900–£1,200, depending on how much is spent on accommodation and activities. The UK is highly card-friendly, with contactless payments accepted almost everywhere, though it’s still a good idea to carry a small amount of cash for taxis, markets, or tips.
Typical daily expenses in the UK:
• 🥘 Meal at a local restaurant: £15–£20
• ☕ Coffee: £3–£4
• 🚇 Public transport fare (daily cap in London): £7.70 (Oyster or contactless)
• 📱 Prepaid SIM card (7 days with data): £10–£15
• 🛏️ Budget hotel or Airbnb: £80–£130 per night
For expats, monthly living costs (excluding rent) typically range from £800–£1,200, with rent in London adding anywhere from £1,200 to £2,000+ depending on the area. Opening a UK bank account is straightforward with proof of address and ID, and debit card payments are the norm. Online services like Wise or OFX generally offer far better exchange rates and lower fees than traditional banks, making them the preferred choice for incoming transfers or moving funds internationally. Currency exchange at airport kiosks or high street outlets tends to be poor value—plan ahead to avoid hidden charges.
