Kerching!! The ten most expensive cities in the world

Just the other day we found evidence that a night out on the tiles in London is the most expensive of any other city in the world.

Now, thanks to the good people at Mercer, we have a definitive countdown of the most expensive cities by ranked by cost of living.

The survey covers 214 cities across five continents and looks at the comparative cost of over 200 items in each spot, including transport, food, clothing, household goods and entertainment. Apparently a cup of coffee plus service in Tokyo will set you back $8.29. Eeekkk.

You can breathe a sigh of relief to find that London is not in the top ten. Hurrah – there’s hope for us yet! London languishes at 25, down from 18 last year.

Fancy having a gander at the top 10?

1.       Tokyo – Japan

2.       Luanda – Angola

3.       Osaka – Japan

4.       Moscow – Russia

5.       Geneva – Switzerland

6.       Zurich – Switzerland

7.       Singapore – Singapore

8.       N’djsmena – Chad

9.       Hong Kong – Hong Kong

10.   Nagoya – Japan
