Predictably, London is the most expensive city at £54.54 per hour; Oxford is second most expensive - £36.83 and Bath is third - £28.30.

All of the information is based on someone working 37.5 hours per week.

The interactive tool was created by www.web-blinds.com and analysed data from all 2,650 postcodes throughout the UK.

Spokesperson for www.web-blinds.com, Kirsty O’Sullivan, said: “The most expensive postcodes and cities make for eye-watering reading, but there are still plenty of affordable gems out there for renters. They just might have to look outside of London for them.”
