Manchester is an incredibly cheap place to live compared to London and the South and East of England.

Food and clothes cost more or less the same in the whole UK but accommodation and transport are almost half the price in Manchester.

For example, a single room in a shared house costs between £40 and £60 per week, whereas one in London is about £100-£120 per week.

Beer is also cheaper in Manchester. It is much better to live in a place like Manchester and spend that extra money to visit London and other places around England.
