Jonzy's catalog estimates roughly $3,400/month all-in living costs in London (about $2,200/mo for a mid-market one-bedroom), with safety scored 78/100, internet 88/100, and visa difficulty rated "Moderate". Tap your card, mind the gap: Contactless bank cards or phones tap straight in/out of Tube, bus, Overground, no Oyster needed. Daily and weekly caps apply automatically. Avoid Zone 1 buses at rush hour; Citymapper is the local app of record. Look beyond Zone 1 to actually live: Zone 1 rents are eye-watering; the magic of London is the village character of Zone 2–3. Hackney, Peckham, Walthamstow are creative; Richmond, Dulwich, Hampstead are family villagey; Stoke Newington is a perennial favourite. For neighbourhood detail, cost breakdowns, and visa paths, see the full London city guide.

Non-Dom is dying: get advice: The famous Non-Dom regime ended in 2025, replaced by a 4-year FIG (foreign income and gains) exemption for new arrivals. Council tax, ULEZ charge, TfL costs add up fast. Always max your ISA (£20k/year tax-free).
