It’s hard to imagine London not being the most expensive city in the world, and yet, according to a recent survey, it’s fourth behind Oslo, Paris and then Copenhagen are listed as being more expensive to live in.

Something must have gone wrong somewhere, because, this is how much it costs to get around on public transport in London:

• £4 for a single journey within Zone 1 on the London Underground
• A weekly bus pass is £14
• A one day bus pass is £3.50
• £2 for a single bus journey

A list of the most expensive cities in the world is below:

1. Oslo, Norway
2. Paris, France
3. Copenhagen, Denmark
4. London, England
5. Tokyo, Japan
6. Osaka, Japan
7. Reyjkavic, Iceland
8. Zurich, Switzerland
9. Frankfurt, Germany
10. Helsinki, Finland

Tokyo and Osaka are still in the top 10, whilst Hong Kong is 14, and Singapore 12.

New York is still America’s most expensive city, but the falling value of the dollar meant that it was cheaper to live in Atalanta than in Shenzen, China. Shanghai is still China’s most expensive city. It’s even more expensive to live in Moscow, than it is to live in New York.

The cheapest city to live in is Manila in the Philippines, tied with Mumbai in India.
