世界上最大的有机食品超市——“全食”，在英国伦敦的肯星顿富人区开了一家分店。肯星顿是伦敦物价最昂贵的地区，不过“全食”里的价格让这儿的一些有钱人都大跌眼镜。
英国《金融时报》刊登的调查报告称，在整个欧洲，英国首都伦敦的生活成本位居第一，法国首都巴黎紧随其后，而西班牙首都马德里最便宜。
衣 比较便宜
英国是高福利国家，政府认为，建立一个完善的医疗体系，让每一个人能看得起病，是国家的职责所在。因此，在英国，无论你是穷是富，无论到社区医院看病，还是到大医院住院，私人无须付费就可得到医疗服务，这些费用全部由英国政府出。
衣服也比较便宜，大众化的品牌，像H&M这样的品牌，都是极便宜的。一件衣服售价几英镑或十几英镑，也就是人民币几十元钱或一百多元钱就可以买到。
食 吃饭贼贵
在中国人抱怨不断上涨的物价的同时，伦敦人也为不断上涨的饭钱发愁。根据最新的调查，伦敦在外就餐的餐费比世界上任何一个地方都要高，但饭店的服务和饭菜质量却难以恭维。
根据《Zagat To Go美食指南》最新公布的调查报告，全球在外就餐费用比较中，英国首都伦敦的排名超过了巴黎和东京，成为世界上在外吃饭费用最高的城市。打个比方，如果在伦敦一家三星级饭店就餐，人均花销达到40英镑。但是，伦敦市民一点也没感到有优越性，因为除了价格不断上涨外，伦敦餐厅的服务质量和食品质量都可以用“低”来形容。
如果您到伦敦观看奥运会，安保是不允许您把水杯带进赛场的，您需要花1.8英镑(约合18元人民币)买一瓶500ml的纯净水。如果观众要吃饭，一个热狗就要花费5.9英镑。而一份普通的家庭日午餐，其售价则达到40英镑(约合406.6元人民币)。
住 堪比北京
在伦敦的生活成本，支出最多的当然是住房。正因为伦敦房价高，才会出现一套房子有两家人去住。楼下一家，楼上一家，花园从中间各分一半。这样的房子，差不多相当于国内70平方米的房子吧，也得要人民币250万元。这意味着，伦敦的住房每平米的平均价格在3万人民币左右，跟北京、上海差不多。
不过，伦敦的平均收入，肯定要比北京、上海高。根据伦敦方面的数据称，那里的人均年收入约3万英镑，折合人民币30万左右，一套70平方米的房子，工薪阶层8年的收入就能买下，若夫妻二人联手，4年就能搞定一套小房子。仅此一点而言，北京、上海的工薪阶层跟伦敦人没法比。
行 超级拥堵
在伦敦的大街小巷，虽然7000辆红色大巴和1.4万辆黑色出租车，在24小时昼夜不停地穿梭运营，但这并不足以保证奥运期间大家可以畅通出行。近日英国发布的一份专项评估警告，交通运输问题是2012年伦敦奥运会面临的“最大隐忧”。由伦敦市议会交通委员会所作的这份评估报告说，伦敦的交通运输网络已经处于接近满负荷运转的状态。
地上交通如此，地下也不会好多少。面对交通高峰，地铁本身也显得有些信心不足。一位不愿公开姓名的伦敦地铁资深雇员向媒体介绍，一旦迎来可能多达100万的额外奥运游人，伦敦地铁定然成为“世界的笑柄”。这位资深雇员还透露，“简而言之，我们系统到时候准备不好，谁也没办法改变现状。”他警告，到时候列车会停运，线路会关闭。“伦敦地铁管理方的态度就是，我们等着瞧吧，反正也没有什么办法”。
保守严谨绅士的伦敦人
伦敦，已不是狄更斯笔下那座黑暗肮脏的城市，也不再如某位作家形容的那样，“腌泡在腐朽糖浆中像兰姆糕”。即将到来的奥运会，无疑让这座无数次被搬进文艺作品的古老城市再次成为世界舞台的主角。有人说伦敦人优雅，有人说伦敦人傲慢，也有人说伦敦人保守；而伦敦又是一个真正的大都会，生活在这里的人与这座城市本身构成了一种不可替代的伟大。
伦敦人比较保守，为人较为严谨，可能和当地的气候有关。比较注重个人修养和素质，因为提到伦敦，很多人第一印象就是英国的绅士淑女。这个城市是个王室气氛比较浓重的城市，大部分人都比较注意仪表。
其实说到保守，从另一方面也体现出了一种谨慎，就如同对于奥运会来说，伦敦人就不太愿意做面子工程，因此他们对于奥运会也不求“无与伦比”。伦敦举办奥运会更像是一次“例行公事”，能完成任务的同时还能为“后奥运”时代考虑就可以了。
如果说到绅士，相信没有人会有否定意见。就拿喝酒来说，英国人也无时无刻的不在体现出他们的绅士风度。英国的酒文化里没有“劝酒干杯”一说，他们喜欢在户外站着喝酒，喝多喝少“请随意”，二次世界大战就使用过潜水艇的英国人，至今还不会玩啤酒杯里扣一小酒盅白酒的“潜水艇花头”，而仅是简简单单的喝酒而已,
The world's largest organic food supermarket - Whole Foods, has opened a branch in Kensington, London, England, the rich. Kensington is the price the most expensive areas in London, but the price of the "Whole Foods" here is some of the rich surprise.
The survey report published by the British "Financial Times" said that the cost of living in the whole of Europe, the British capital of London in the first place, the French capital Paris, followed by the Spanish capital of Madrid is the cheapest.
Clothing relatively cheap
Britain is a high welfare state, the Government believes that the state's duty to establish a comprehensive health care system, so that everyone can afford medical. Therefore, in the UK, whether you are poor and rich, no matter to the community hospital, or to hospitals, private without charge you can get medical services, these costs are fully out by the British Government.
The clothes are relatively cheap, popular brands, such as H & M brand, and are very cheap. A clothes priced at a few pounds or ten pounds, which is RMB tens of dollars or more than one hundred yuan money can buy.
Food to eat your thief
Chinese people complain about rising prices at the same time, London is also rising for the meal to worry about. According to the latest survey, London, outside the dining meals to be higher than anywhere in the world, but the hotel service and food quality is difficult to compliment.
According to the latest survey released by the Zagat To Go Food Guide ", the world outside dining costs, the ranking of the British capital London than in Paris and Tokyo, eating out become the world's most expensive cities. For example, if a three-star hotel in London dining, per capita spending of up to 40 pounds. However, the citizens of London a little did not have superiority of, because in addition to rising prices, the quality of service and food quality in the London restaurant can use the "low" to describe.
If you go to London to watch the Olympics, security does not allow you to put the cup into the stadium, you need to spend £ 1.8 (about 18 yuan) to buy a bottle of 500ml of pure water. If the audience to eat a hot dog would cost £ 5.9 A normal family day lunch, the price reached 40 pounds ($ 406.6 yuan).
Living comparable to Beijing
The cost of living in London, spending most of course is housing. London house prices will be a house there are two people to live. Downstairs, one upstairs, one of the garden from the middle half of our This house is equivalent to almost 70 square meters house, they have to to 2.5 million yuan. This means that the average price per square meter of housing in London in about 30,000 yuan, almost with Beijing, Shanghai.
However, the average income in London, certainly better than Beijing, Shanghai high. Said, according to London, where the per capita annual income of about £ 30,000, equivalent to about 300,000 yuan, a 70 m2 house, working-class income can buy, if the husband and wife jointly, four years be able to get a small house. The only point of Beijing, Shanghai, working-class immeasurably with the Londoners.
OK Super congestion
In the streets of London, 7000 Red buses and black taxis 14000 in 24 hours round the clock shuttle operations, but not enough to guarantee during the Olympic Games, we can smooth travel. The United Kingdom recently released a special assessment warning, transportation problems facing the biggest worry for the 2012 London Olympics. The evaluation report made by the London City Council Transportation Committee, said London's transport network is already at near full load operation.
Ground traffic is so underground is also not much better. The face of the rush-hour traffic, the subway itself is some lack of confidence. One willing to publish the names of the senior employees of the London Underground to the media, once may be as many as 1 million of additional Olympic visitors are ushered in, the London Underground will certainly become the laughing stock of the world. Veteran employees also revealed that "In short, our system when ready is not good, no one way to change the status quo," he warned, to when the train outage, the line will close. "London Underground management's attitude is, we'll see, anyway, no way".
Conservative strict gentleman of London
London, not Dickens tall dark, dirty city, not another example, one of the writers describe as, "pickled in a decadent syrup like the rum cake. The upcoming Olympic Games, no doubt this countless times was moved into the literary and artistic works of the ancient city once again become the protagonist of the world stage. Some people say that Londoners elegant, Some people say that the people of London Pride, was also said that Londoners conservative; London is a truly cosmopolitan city life here itself constitutes an irreplaceable great.
Londoners are more conservative, more rigorous man, may the local climate. Pay more attention to personal accomplishment and quality, as reference is the first impression of London, a lot of people that the British ladies and gentlemen. The city is a relatively thick atmosphere of the royal city, most people pay more attention to the instrument.
In fact, it comes to conservative, on the other hand, reflects a cautious, just as for the Olympic Games, London is less willing to do face-saving projects, so they do not ask for the Olympic Games "incomparable". London Olympics is more like a "routine", while able to complete the task as "Olympics" Time to consider.
When it comes to the gentleman, I believe that no one will have a negative opinion. Take the drink, the British all the time not reflect the gentleman. British wine culture, "urging people to drink a toast," one said, they like to stand in the outdoor drink, drink drink less "random", World War II submarines of the British, still will not play beer mug a buckle a handless winecup liquor submarine flower head, but only the simple alcohol
