How much should a student abroad in London expect to spend per semester on everything but housing?

Question

I need to make a budget for myself next semester with everything: food, entertainment, books, Oyster cards, the works. Its a bit hard to find the specifics online, but I'm a frugal vegan and I don't buy much besides food and the basics. Anyone?

Answer 1

God!! Even I need to know this since I'am coming to london too....

Answer 2

If you are from the US, I would figure out what you spend right now in a semester and triple it to be safe - to cover the drop of the dollar and the extra expenses that come from living in an expensive city.  

You can always not spend the money you have, but it is hard to get there and not have enough.  

Sorry I can't give you a specific number - it's been several years since I studied in England and things have gone downhill for the dollar since then.
