So, what does it actually cost to live in London in 2024? To catch transport? To buy groceries? To have fun and eat out? To pay for rent and utilities? This is what I spend in a week as a 27-year-old living in London.
We’ll cover three different spending categories. First up, fixed costs like rent, utilities, groceries and council tax. Next, a couple of subscriptions and lastly, the fun bit, variable costs. These are all things like the cost of eating out, travel, and doing some fun activities.
If you’re planning a move to London, I hope this helps give you an idea of the cost of living in London. And where things are more pricy, or where you could save more money.
Let me know what other videos you’d like to see about London life and moving to London in the comments!

Don’t apologize for what you spend on food and coffee! We got to visit London for 4 days at the end of our bike trip! Love London so much! Reminds me of NYC, but so much more to see.

My most shameful money habit here is a Dishoom deliveroo for my very single self 😂I'm also trying to travel at least once a month now since my time in London is limited, going to a very cold Copenhagen this weekend and taking loads of inspo from your video there! I'd be keen to see a video on how you plan your trips/eats since you always seem to pick the best food places

One might argue a Dishoom deliveroo is saving you money by not having to spend time waiting in the crazy line!! 😉 Oh yay so glad to hear it, Copenhagen looks beautiful this time of year. And I love that idea - jotting it down in my planner!

I’m grateful that I found this video. Actually I got a job offer ( a really good, almost dream job for me ) at Thursday evening, and I am not sure of what to do. I am from sweden currently living and working in norway, and I enjoy my life after work. But my work is dreadful and soul sucking. So that is why ai applied for this job, but it feels so demanding moving to London, I feel like it will really set back my savings due to the high cost of living there, pure cultural things make come as a chock for a Scandinavian, infrastructure etc. But the job is an amazing possibility, and I would feel foolish for not taking it ( I think? ). I am 27 years old without partner, but I have found myself amazing friends here. So what I am maybe asking is, is london worth moving to for a single person ( now I know its hard because you have your husband with you ), considering that it is a very expensive city. Is it possible to find a living space safe for a young woman ( do you have any suggestions on homepages for flats etc ), does the city feels safe and of course is it worth it? Is a job worth moving, since I got the feeling you both moved due to more of a personal/lifestyle reason rather than work. I’m sorry for babbling but I just feels a bit lost and thought maybe that you who moved from the other side of earth, if you find the city worth it🙈

Hey! Congrats on the job that’s so exciting. I know exactly how you feel. It’s such a big decision. I think it’s unique for everyone and depends on what you want out of the move vs the costs you’re willing to pay. I have a lot of single friends who moved to London and are totally making it work and having a blast - but it does really depend on your unique circumstances ☺️ Hope that helps x

Think about the Muslims and what they are doing in Sweden right now. So much worse here than in Sweden. I occasionally visit Skellefteå and or Burtrask. There are many invaders here.

Price wise in just everyday costs, yes, but the US salaries are so much better so I don’t quite think it balances out 🫤
