Wetherspoons: The cheapest London boroughs to buy a pint in 'Spoons

While London is notorious for having a premium cost for most things, Londoners, and visitors to the city will be pleased to find some areas where they can find a pint on the cheap.

Several boroughs offer pints for only a fraction over the national average of £3.38 per pint, according to a study by QR Code Generator.

The study analysed the average cost of pints in Wetherspoons pubs in over 600 areas in the UK.

The average costs of some of the country’s most favoured pints including Carling, San Miguel, Guinness, Coors, Stella Artois, and Budweiser were analysed to find the cost by location.

The average cost of a pint in the West London borough of Ealing was found to be £3.46 in Wetherspoons pubs across the area when comparing the six favourite beverages considered – with a pint of Coors coming in as the most affordable at £2.79 on average.

For those in other areas, it was identified that it is also possible to find a pint below £4 in Hackney and Croydon. 

For a mid-priced pint, the study found that the average cost would set patrons in Islington and Greenwich back an estimated £4.11 or £4.70 per pint – with the latter at around 39% higher than the national average but less than 10% higher than the London average identified. 

The most expensive prices are found in central areas and those often frequented by tourists, unsurprisingly.

The analysis found that the average cost of pints in Camden, Westminster, and the centre of London would likely cost more than £5 per drink.

However, for savvy pub-goers, pint choices can make a difference, and pints such as Coors in Westminster or Camden could cost an estimated £3.99 or Budweiser for £4.99 per pint.
