If you're willing to not confine yourself to the US, London is great for cheap public transport. On average, the cost of living is quite high: housing and nights out are expensive. However, if you're clever, you can actually subsist on a low amount of money: eat at home, live in a small flat outside central London etc.
- puzzle-out 18y agoLondon does not have cheap public transport, at least compared to other European cities, but then again it is getting more bike friendly - but make sure you invest in a some waterproofs.
- JimmyL 18y agoThere are many great things about London - cheap public transport is definitely not one of them. The TfL network is certainly quite expansive, but is also rather expensive. There's also the generally high cost-of-living, the shitty broadband connectivity (as in the companies are crap, expensive, and bandwidth-limited), and a near-universal hatred of bicycles. Also, it's cold and gray 95% of the year.
- zcrar70 18y agoLondon is a tough city to live in. I've been here 10 years now, and whilst it's true that you can subsist on little money, the quality of life is low and the stress levels are high. I certainly wouldn't recommend it to anyone who cares about living standards (although it's most probably the only place in the UK to get any kind of funding, not that I'd know because I'm not working for a start up).
