Rent accomodation in London (UK) for 1 month at a cheap price?

To any UK people here, could you help me with the current prices of things in the UK????

  • I live in the US, and am wanting to compare the prices here to those in the UK. I am wanting prices not for really expensive places like London , but just average town prices. Please, could you tell me the price you would expect to pay for the following items ????? Small Studio apartment with utilities (rent for one month)? Modest groceries for one person (for one week)? cheap bottle of red wine ( 1.5 litre) ?? pint at a average pub (Guiness for example)??? pack of cigarettes ???? petrol per litre??? anything else basic you think you would need to buy to live on to exist? (clothes for example)

  • Answer:

    £400 a month is average for a studio apartment per month,Groceries about £30 as for the wine well it is mainly sold in 750ml bottles but you can get a cheap white in a 1.5 litre bottles for about £2.50 but red for a standard bottle is about £3,Guiness is about £2-£2.50 a pint,Cigarettes vary from about £4.25 to about £5.40 a packet and uk petrol price's again varies from 96p to about £1,08 per litre,Jeans unbranded between £5 to £15 shirts cheap ones £5 shoes cheap one £10..gas and electricity will cost about £70 a month..council tax depending on value of property and this has to be paid if you are renting or buying varies big time from one place to another but you would pay about £180-£200 a month for a cheap property..local bus fares £3 or an all day ticket ,,Milk is about £1.05 for 2 litres bread is about 90p oh and dont for the tv licence at a whopping £135.50 a year for a colour licence..this has to be paid even if you dont have a tv and just have a pc..if you have any equipment capable of recieving a picture then you must pay..a uk sailor on a submarine had to pay a tv licence because he had a tv on the submarine..he was unable to get a reception but because his tv was capable of getting a picture then he had to pay..This is rip off Britain

Well depend on where you want to live and who you want to rent off, a council flat in Dalmellington Ayr Scotland would cost you without utilities around £50 per week. Food for one £35-00, a pint of beer £2-00 cigs for 20 £5-50, red wine cheap £3-00 petrol a ltr £1-00 these are roughly what my son pays at moment I have rounded the prices either up slightly or down slightly, his real rent is £49-00 one bedroom flat, separate kitchen, living room and bathroom own entrance. Gas he pays £20-00 per month, Electric £20-00, he does not have a phone, Tax is £1,000 per year this includes water tax. Hope this helps

Depending on where in the country the prices vary so roughly for the south east of England: Smalll studio flat £500.00 Groceries £60.00 Cheap wine £3.50 (can get cheaper but tastes like p*ss) Guinness £2.85 Ciggs £5.25 petrol £0.98. Road tax £180.00 per year Car insurance £330.00 Per year council tax £110.00 per month for ten months. T.V licence payable to the BBC: £138.00 per year. Basic T-shirts £5.00- £45.00 Jeans £5.00-£250.00 All these figures really guess work as a lot depends on where you live and what you drive but this is going by my home area. Hope it helps. It really is expensive here!
