Londoners On How Much They Spend Per Day…

30 comments

1. First guy just eats lunch twice a week and spends the rest of his time cycling to work.

   Do none of these people factor in groceries as well

2. + £100 on a party bag

3. Slow day: £25-50

   Big Day: £750 – £1,250

4. Costs me about £14-£15 per workday and that’s just tube and lunch

5. This might be skewed by them going to Leadenhall market.

   Probably the majority of these people work at Lloyds of London, which is probably the place that’s maintained the city boy culture throughout the years

6. £15-£20 for me. I hate food prep.

7. On cocaine?

8. £8 on travel and £12 on a meal and my mandatory post lunch chocolate. I only go in like once a week so a solid £20 for me. The numbers these guys are pulling out are insane

9. I work for an investment bank right by leadenhall market, I have no idea how they’re all doing it so cheap. My return ticket on the train is £48, then £20 on lunch and maybe a couple of coffees another £10 so I’m at a gnat’s hair shy of £80/day and I don’t think I’m being glamorous.

10. Where can I get lunch and a drink for £8 in London?

11. When you pay more for alcohol than your commute and lunch combined, you know there’s a problem.

12. 15£ commute, 7.50 lunch.. and drinks easily 50-100

13. So much spending on drinking booze only: people should have fun of course but I can’t help but feel that so much money goes into the toilet literally and with a potential for health damage. We would react very differently if everyone in the video would say they spend the same amount on cigarettes instead, but the reality alcohol and cigarettes are quite similar!

15. God I hate these people so much.

16. 40 quid a day…. ffs

17. I’ve always liked City AM my go to reading material on morning commutes, it’s just so quintessential London!

    I’ve just never understood how they survive or who runs it or why.

18. £12 train and £3 lunch from Greggs

19. The lunch is too cheap – 5 pounds?

20. I live in the West Country and work remotely.

    Is there a thing in London about going out on a Thursday night? All the work parties and nights out are on a Thursday.

    Everyone in this video is implying that they go out for drinks on a Thursday

    Why? What do Londoners even do on a Friday night!?!

21. Cost me about 8 quid to get the train in. I then spend £5 on a bacon sandwich. I then get lunch at a street food market round the corner which is between £10 -£15. So all in about £25. I do only go in one day a week, if I went in more often I’d spend less on food, but I kinda treat myself a bit when I have to go into the office.

22. The ole plantation place. Did they check they sounded posh before interviewing them.

23. I just love the kiwi accent. Couldn’t care about anyone else.

24. But how much does he spend on drinks at the lamb?

25. These lot lying, easily breaking a tenner on lunch and ain’t nobody going home after 2 pints so you’re looking north of £30 a day surely

26. £7 commute, £2.40 coffee on the way in, that’s it most workdays.

27. Sounds about right. £40-£80 per day depending on the day. I live within walking distance of the office. So nothing spent on transport so mostly food and drinks.

28. Yeah for wfh.

29. What is everyone doing on Thursdays to make it more expensive? Don’t they have work on Fridays?

30. travel 2-3 pounds and lunch+dinner ~10
