Why is London so expensive? The most and least affordable things about the capital in 2025, from nightlife to art
Briefly

To come up with our 2025 ranking, Time Out surveyed over 18,000 city-dwellers around the globe on factors ranging from the quality of food scenes and variety of cultural offerings to general happiness.
Only a measly 16 percent said that going out to a club or on a night out was 'affordable'. That's right, 16 percent.
While the capital has had some decent investment into nightlife venues over the past few years... a night out in the capital sure isn't cheap.
Only 35 percent of respondents said restaurants are affordable, live music got a 37 percent affordability rate and just 39 percent said theatre and comedy was comfortably within their means.
