My husband, my son (who will be 2) and myself are planning to move to the UK this summer. We have the correct visas, and all that. But about how much money should we save. We are flying from Atlanta Airport to Heathrow in London. Were staying 1 night in London, then continueing to Hampshire. There we will be paying rent on a house. We have figgured to bring about 4000 pounds. Maybe 3000 pounds?
It depends on what your doing. I had a teacher who went there with his brother and he, in the span of one week, spent 4,000 on the entire trip but that is including airfare. I think that 4,000 for spending will be okay. It just depends on what you do there. And remember that everything over there is at least double that in our money. For an entire summer I would take a little more just to be on the safe side. When I went I was with a group. I only had to pay for one meal a day though and my subway tickets along with hotel were part of the package with EF-tours and I still spent about 900 dollars just site seeing and my third meal. I don't want to tell you that 4,000 will be enough but maybe my information will help you a little on your decision.
