The three cheapest were Ho Chi Minh City at £347.36 per month; Delhi on £357.92; and Chennai with a rate of £384.01.

Using a weighted ranking system, the survey assigned a score to each city. 

The 34 were: Prague, Athens, Venice, Rome, Chennai, Delhi, Kuala Lumpur, Taipei, Vienna, Barcelona, Milan, Dublin, Istanbul, Las Vegas, Mumbai, Dubai, Orlando, Miami, Amsterdam, Berlin, Ho Chi Minh City, Singapore, Hong Kong, Bangkok, Los Angeles, Paris, Seoul, London, New York City, Shenzhen, Osaka, Guangzhou, Shanghai, and Tokyo.
