London and New York offer the opportunity to visit the renowned restaurants, lively nightlife and unbeatable ... rides on a particular and not always affordable.
Both capitals are often featured in the list of most expensive cities in the world (though London is not struck the top ten in the latest review of the cost of living due to the depreciation of the pound after the referendum).
Website SpareRoom raised the question of what it means to live in New York and London, using data from Zoopla, Rent Jungle and Numbeo.
Readers are invited to get acquainted with the average rental quotations, transport costs and other expenditure items that are listed in US dollars. London is represented in blue, and New York - orange.
Freight costs
New Yorkers use the subway, while the Londoners go for the so-called pipe (from the Tube, as they call their metro residents of London), which is slightly more expensive.
Rent
Perhaps it would be cheaper to move to New York, but the house will cost you significantly more. The average monthly rent for a studio apartment in New York is $ 2.698. In London, rent cost just $ 2003. No wonder that living with a roommate will be a lot cheaper than one, said SpareRoom.
In New York, you are also "less likely to get any outside space for their money" reports SpareRoom. Only 31% of the tenants could offer a house with an open platform (balcony), compared with 70% in London.
Cost entertainment
Night in the city, from beer to dinner three course usually costs a little more expensive in New York than in London.
Foodstuffs
New Yorkers spend twice as much money for basic foods such as milk, eggs and water.
Coffee and soda
Expect to pay about $ 5 for a latte or cappuccino in New York. Prices in London a little more reasonable, but still far from affordable.
