Pocket Money for a genuinely stable student life.

Anyone have any ideas on how much a student will need for a stable life in say, London? I know it's expensive but it doesn't matter. I'd appreciate all feedback, thanks :smile:
Excluding rent, how much will I need for a week in London? Or anywhere really? To have an okay time. Movies a week, good food, etc. Pretty much a good weekend or so when I'm not in school? Thanks!
I'm thinking 150Pounds a week. Is that too small or too large? Be honest please. Again, excluding Rent!!
Thanks again!

I was handed a charge card and a couple of grand a month... I needed that charge card :lol:

I reckon you could get away with £200 a week.

If you can afford to spend £150 per week solely on spending money as a student you probably don't need to be considering how much money you'll need per week in the first place.

I'd say you can live quite comfortably on £10 a day, excluding rent or bills. Obviously London is much more expensive than Wales though.

depends on where you live in London
