I have some friends that moved to London (HCOL) pre-pandemic and they definitely find some things more expensive, but other things cheaper. E.g. between having actual grocery competition, they find their grocery costs lower. Also in their areas of work (business administration/management) they get paid comparatively higher than they had in Vancouver.
