What is the approximate cost of living in the UK these days?
I may need to go there for about 6 months. What would be the average monthly rent, weekly grocery costs, electricity and other expenses could I expect in a major city, for, say, a one or two bedroomed furnished flat?
Thanks folks

It will depend on the city. London, Edinburgh, Leeds, Guildford, Reading, Canterbury, York, Bristol are all terribly expensive. They will cost you
£1000-1500 per month rent,
£500-750 per month travel
£400-800 per month food & drink, depending on your lifestyle
£150-250 per month electricity and heating-gas
£150-200 clothing and cleaning
£200 as a general contingency.
Total £2400-3700 per month.
But Birmingham, Manchester, Glasgow, Swansea, Norwich, Newcastle-upon-Tyne, Southampton, Exeter, Stafford, Lancaster, Preston, Carlisle, Durham, Sheffield, Lincoln and others will cost about one-third less.
Total £1600-2500 per month.
