What London rent prices could get you elsewhere in the UK

For most people, it’s no surprise that living in London is expensive.

According to a recent study, students at London unis such as UCL, Imperial and LSE are paying as much as £212 a week (around £850 a month) for accommodation.

With that in mind, we thought we’d see what £850 a month could get you elsewhere in the country.

London, £850pcm

This pokey double room, in Shoreditch, will set you back an eye-watering £850 a month.

Tenants would have to share with a couple, although the flat does come fully furnished.

Manchester, £850pm

For the same price, this “luxury” flat is also fully-furnished and includes a concierge service.

The real draw, though, is the rest of the building – namely an on-site gym, a spa and a 20-metre rooftop swimming pool.

Leeds, £752pm

Billed as student accommodation, this vast studio apartment comes with en-suite rooms, open-plan kitchens, laundry service and even an on-site cinema.

Brighton, £800/£900pm

If the roof terrace isn’t enough, these double rooms are located near the seafront and include all bills and a cleaner in the price.

Newcastle, £600/£700pm

This quayside apartment includes parking, an open-plan living room and a balcony with river views.

Bristol, £756pm

Another high-quality halls with an on-site cinema and gym, these one-person studio flats are a ten minute walk away from the uni.

Cardiff, £700pm

Not only does this flat come fully-furnished with antique furniture and “a secluded garden to chill with a glass of wine or a good book,” you literally get your breakfast and dinner cooked for you.

Belfast, £725pm

Looking more like an upmarket hotel than a flat, this city centre property comes with a “glazed balcony”, a video security system and a futuristic garden courtyard which looks like something out of High Rise.

Glasgow, £850pm

If this isn’t the loveliest one-bed flat of all time, we don’t know what is.
