Buying a Starbucks coffee in London costs up to 9% more than in other UK cities, according to recent research.

A Starbucks coffee in London is almost half (48%) the price of the same beverage in Bern, Switzerland, who top the list for the most expensive drinks from the chain worldwide.

The prices of three beverages which were the focus of a Voucherbox study increase by almost one tenth (9%) from Plymouth (£2.25) to London (£2.45). 

However prices in the capital are cheaper than those in other cities across the world - a Starbucks coffee in London costs almost half the price than the same beverage in the Swiss capital, Bern.

Shane Forster, Voucherbox UK Country Manager, said: “Starbucks’ pricing structure may be quite confusing for customers, who don’t necessarily expect to pay the same price for their favourite beverage across the world, but they do, and should, expect it to be fair.

“The fact that there are such discrepancies makes it seem quite the opposite.”
