London's cost of living is driven primarily by housing, where central zones command some of the highest rents in Europe. Prices are in British pounds, and the exchange rate materially affects the real cost for euro- or dollar-denominated earners. Transport via the Underground is efficient but adds a meaningful monthly expense.
