United Kingdom Money and Shopping: Cost

United Kingdom  Money and Shopping  Cost

Full United Kingdom Travel Guide »    United Kingdom Interactive Map »    Print This Article »

The United Kingdom is a very expensive country, although the Pound's somewhat dramatic recent falls against many currencies are helping some overseas tourists who are finding things are now cheaper than they are in their home countries. However, the high cost of basics such as transport, accommodation and food means that you'll spend around £50 per day as a budget traveller and more if you want to afford luxuries such as taxis, 3 star hotels, and meals in restaurants.

London and the South East is up to three times as expensive as other parts of the country. Further North things are more reasonably priced, although some groceries, goods and services can be more expensive than average in Northern Ireland.
