The cost of living in the UK and in particular in London – is considered one of the highest in the world, however, with careful budget planning and saving, the cost will not be prohibitive. How to do it, tell our experts.

Features of the budget

As in any country of the world, costs in the UK are directly linked to the lifestyle and place of residence. In large cities such as London, the prices are higher than in the provinces and rural areas of the country. However, there are exceptions: for example, the cost of living in the "country" of Scotland is higher than in similar towns in England.

Many foreigners come to Britain in search of stable work and high standard of living. And, although local wages are quite high, the expenses can hardly be called a advantage of living in Albion.

For a long time I dreamed of moving to this country, but I did not have the determination. After all, over the years the person actually "grows" to dreams, where he already settled. However, the guys from the 1st Transport Company gave a push. I found out that they can transport things and cars without problems, taking a smut with transportation and customs declaration for themselves.

I agree with the author of the article, life in England is not cheap, we really wanted to live in London, but the renting prices still settled just in Belfast, much of the life had to be bought, but we managed to transport a lot, thanks that there are such transport companies , how (there was advertising), very quickly from Nizhny Novgorod transported our luggage, so that we still managed to save a lot, at the expense of clothing prices - there are two periods in the year when there are sales all over the place and it is very profitable to buy good things
