What I spend in a month as a 22 year old living in LONDON (2023)

Hey guys, I haven't uploaded in 2 weeks because I've had flat searching drama because I'm moving... again!! (new apartment tour coming soon)! But I thought this would be a great time to talk about how much living in London really costs incase you are thinking about/worried about moving here too! I hope you enjoy x

I hope you love it!

It's the London hard water (or the stress of living in London) that could be affecting your hair. You could try a shower water filter.

Thank you!

Thanks for sharing this video. I am moving to London for work for the first time this summer. £783.50 for a room (plus bills) seems reasonable then and probably matches up closely to what I will be going for. I will be renting a house for approximately £3.5k/month (working on the basis there are 3 or 4 of you flatsharing). Not the cheapest but it is London after all. Oh well, will know firsthand once I get there!

[@AbbeyRobinss]

Yeah this sounds pretty realistic!

[@MashoodSabir]

ahh London is indeed expensive and quite a lot of competition too for sure :)

[@domy6827]

My rent and bills are less than £600. Also south. I used to be closer to the centre for under £500 bills included but the building was falling apart and is up for demolition lol.

Heyy, I'm moving to London soon..maybe you can help me?

[@jismbabe]

The water bottle... Oh my goodness... 😲 Is there gold hidden in it? Greetz and take care. 🙋🏻‍♀️

Cool Video Abbey, i did a similar video but started it at 5pm lol

[@siddharthadas1040]

8 pounds a day commuting? That’s hard Abbey. I had been to London for a couple of days in 2006, didn’t find the public transport that expensive. Perhaps you live away from the city (I lived for a week in Berkshire on that trip) which must be why it’s costing you so much. Would buying a car improve things ?

[@djham2916]

I would suggest a bike over a car

[@lempuujjj2877]

Great video , not so great comment section

[@iorekby]

Yeah WTH with the comments....

[@superduper5949]

Finally someone who is not whining about the living cost crisis and actually has a more positive mature take on it!

[@wn9861]

800GBP to 1000GBP for a room share, plus bills in London?, that was about 400 a month, including bills in 2006 when i lived there for five years, you could get a 1 bed apartment for about 700 to 800 in 2006, so it´s more than doubled in 15 years. One room in South London I had lined up was about 500 a month, including bills about four years ago. Sounds out of control to me.
