10 cities with cheaper rent than London to move to if work remotely

As many of us are now working from home, living in close proximity to Central London is no longer an absolute necessity

London is notoriously one of the most expensive cities in the world to live and work in.

In fact, a one bedroom apartment in the city centre could cost as must as £1,765 per month.

However, since many of us are now working from home, living in close proximity to London is no longer an absolute necessity.

Here is a list of 10 cities with rent far cheaper than London you can move to if you work remotely.

1. Paris, France



Have you ever dreamed of living in the ‘City of Love’? Well, now is the time to make the move.

Home to the famous Louvre Art Museum and the iconic Eiffel Tower, the average monthly rent of a one bedroom apartment in Paris is £1,057.

2. Berlin, Germany


Berlin is one of the cultural and historical epicentres in the whole of Europe.

For roughly £805 per month, you too can experience the wonders of this vibrant city, experiencing sites such as the Brandenburg Gate, the Reichstag Building and the Berlin Wall Memorial.

3. Amsterdam, The Netherlands



The closest in terms of rent to London is Amsterdam, the capital city of The Netherlands.

Known for its cultural heritage and extensive canal system, the cost of a one bedroom apartment in Amsterdam is £1,424.

4. Moscow, Russia


The cosmopolitan capital of Russia, Moscow filled with breathtaking monuments and jawdropping sites.

For just £649 a month, you can experience the beauty of St. Basil’s Cathedral, learn the history behind the famous Red Square and visit the resting place of the Soviet leader, Vladimir Lenin.

5. Prague, Czech Republic


Nicknamed “the City of a Hundred Spires”, Prague is the capital and largest city in the Czech Republic.

The city offers some great examples of Gothic and Medieval architecture, from St. Vitus Cathedral to the Prague Astronomical clock.

A one month’s stay in Prague will roughly set you back £682.

6. Warsaw, Poland


Warsaw is a city with a very complex history. After being invaded by the Nazis in the Second World War, much of the city was destroyed by bombings, revolts and demolitions.

However, today it stands as one of Europe’s most underrated tourist destinations.

The cost of one month’s rent in Warsaw is £577.

7. Beijing, China



For a total change of scenery, why not move to Beijing, the world’s most populous capital city?

With a rich history dating back three millennia, the city includes a number of historical sites such as the Forbidden City complex, the Imperial palaces during the Ming and Quing dynasties and the famous Tiananmen Square.

The cost of a one bedroom apartment in Beijing is £812 per month.

8. Bangkok, Thailand


Known for its vibrant street life and home to the magnificent Grand Palace, Bangkok is a great city to move to if you are able to work remotely.

For only £503 per month, the price of renting is less than a third of the cost to live in London.

Why not make the most of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and explore this rapidly developing city.

9. New Dehli, India


At a fraction of the cost of living in London, why not discover the colourful city of New Dehli, India.

The city is steeped in history, from the 17th century imperial residence at Red Fort to the iconic India Gate memorial.

The cost of one month’s rent in New Dehli is £190.

10. Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan


The most inexpensive city on our list for property rentals is the capital of Kyrgyzstan, Bishkek.
