- disgruntledphd2 6y agoI dunno, when I moved from Ireland to London, pretty much everything except rent and travel was much, much cheaper. That probably says more about Ireland than it does about London though.
- robk 6y agoLondon cost of living is really lower than SF nowadays. It's pretty shocking but has been this way a while. Just avg eng salaries are lower but US expats can command a premium and live very well.
- habosa 6y agoOne huge difference you notice right away is groceries. Groceries in central London are half price or less what you'd pay in most of SF. Rent is definitely lower in London. That said salaries are lower in London too, so the relative "cost of living" may be higher here. I'm still thinking in America Bucks.
