How Much Does a Trip to London Cost?

Is London expensive to visit?

London is one of the most expensive European cities in TravelMometer's data. Rooms, food and local transport all sit at or near the top of our European list, so the same trip usually costs more here than in Paris or Amsterdam.

On our seasonal data, January is typically the cheapest month and July the most expensive.

How much spending money do you need in London?

London's daily costs are high across the board. Local transport stands out: on our data it costs more per day than in most European cities we cover, so it's worth budgeting for it rather than treating it as small change.

For food, local transport and activities, plan roughly €82 per person per day on a budget, €112 on a standard trip and €203 for premium travel.

• Travel month — London is busiest from spring through summer and again in December.
