Tips for Moving to London

London is a buzzing metropolis with 9 million people and over 300 languages spoken. By area, it is larger than NYC and comes in as the 6th most expensive city in the world. London is the capital of England and the UK with excellent transport links across the UK and Europe. There are 6 airports for the Greater London area and a seamless system of public transportation.

London is split into 7 main areas based on location. There is North, North West, Central, West, South East, South West, and East London. When looking for a flat or property in London the postcode corresponds to what part it is located in. If the postcode starts with E then it is in East London or SW for South West. These areas are further split into 32 boroughs and the City of London, which is not considered a borough of London.

Locals and previous residents of London have offered some tips to help with your move!

• If you can’t visit prospective rooms or flats, start in temporary accommodation (Gumtree or Airbnb)
• Check the local transport routes and operating hours.
• Check commute times before buying in London.
• Don’t forget to ask about the council tax monthly cost.
• Hire professionals to help with your move for far fewer headaches (Psst, BlueSky can help with that).

Now for the difficult part: choosing where to live. Depending on your job, family size, and social lifestyle will determine the best area for you. Due to the cost of living in London being so diverse below we share the approximate costs for renting, buying, monthly bills, and groceries to give you an idea for a budget.

Cost of Living in London

While London has it all, it also comes with a price tag. It is the 6th most expensive city in the world and the most expensive in the UK. Let’s take a look at some of the costs you should be mindful of before moving house to London.

Renting in London

London is the most expensive location in Europe to rent. According to the government, the median rent in London was double the English median rent coming in at £1,495 per month.

It is common to rent a single room in a home. The prices range from £500-£850 per month on average, but it is not uncommon to see prices over £1,000/month for a single room.

If you are looking to live without roommates then for a studio or one-bedroom flat in London prices can range from £700-£2000 per month.

Deposits are typical 4-6 weeks worth of rent and it is common to see rent advertised in a price per week (pw).

Average House Prices by Area

• North London – £806,074
• North West London – £855,080
• North East London – £564,171
• Central London – £1 593,323

• South West London – £821,673
• South London – £589,531
• East London – £500,464

Council Tax

Council tax is determined by the local council based on the property values of homes. Depending on where you live in London and which home will determine which band (level) of council tax you are on. This can be from £670 to as high as £2000 per year.

TV License

If you are watching programmes on a TV or computer as they are broadcasted, or watch from BBC’s website, then you are required to pay a TV License. It cost £159 (£53.50 for black and white TV sets) for both homes and businesses.

Utilities

Similarly to everything else in London, it depends. Everything is about location. Here are some monthly averages:

• Water  £25-£35
• Electricity £25-£110
• Gas £26-£110
• Broadband £35-£50

You can choose your provider for electricity, gas, and broadband. The primary providers of gas and electricity are British Gas and EDF. Some alternatives are Bulb, Igloo, Eon, and Octopus. Bulb is a favourite among locals and has an estimated cost of £40-60/month (gas + electricity bill).

Broadband providers in London include Vodafone, VirginMedia, Sky, and BT. Hyperoptic is favoured by most but only available in select neighbourhoods. Their broadband ranges from 50 Mb for £22 a month or speeds up to 1Gb for £39 per month.

Groceries

Similar to most cities London has Waitrose, Tesco, Marks & Spencer, Sainsbury’s, and Lidl, but it also has a wide range of independent shops, international groceries, and Whole Foods.

For comparison, London consumer prices are 18% higher than Manchester and 6% higher than Birmingham (not including rent). Fresh dairy, meat, and produce can be expensive in London, much higher than the national average.

Transport

London is separated in another way for transportation which involves zones. There are nine zones and the first zone is Central London.

Monthly travelcards to utilize the buses, the Underground, DLR, and London Overground changes in cost depending on which zones you need to travel through. If you are only using it to get between Zones 1 and 2 it costs £142.10 whereas if you need to get around all 9 Zones it will be £370.60 per month.
