Living costs in the UK are generally moderate to expensive, with London being among the most costly cities.

- London: £1,300 - £1,800/month (higher accommodation and transport costs)
- Other UK cities: £900 - £1,400/month (lower rent and daily expenses)

Accommodation is the largest expense, especially in London. Food, transport, and utilities add to the monthly budget. Your total cost will depend on your city, lifestyle, and spending habits.

Plan your finances carefully to manage expenses, especially if you choose to study in London.
