The Evening Standard reports that London is 6.7% more expensive to live in than the UK average. Isn’t that amazing? I’d have thought it would have been twice that figure, what with all the access to wide and varied cultural events, excellent career prospects, aspirational lifestyle possibilties, and more. What a bargain!
