UK cities fall in ranking of most expensive places to live

A number of British cities, including London, have tumbled down the rankings in an annual survey of the world's most expensive places to live. Mercer's 2019 Cost of Living Survey revealed that London had fallen four places to 23^rd on the list. "UK cities' fall this year is mainly due to a strengthening of the US dollar”, the report explained. Hong Kong topped the rankings for the second year in a row, followed by Tokyo and Singapore.
