This is less than half the price of a coffee in England&#8217;s capital. The unofficial home of coffee, Italy (Milan), is also 67p cheaper than London.<\/p><p>Globally, London ranks as the 41st cheapest city out of 76 cities around the world for the cost of a coffee. This is good news for Brits, as it is estimated that 95 million cups of coffee are drunk in the UK every day* and we have over 1,000 Starbucks outlets (compared to just 5 in Italy!)**.<\/p><p>The Index also looks at what a coffee is predicted to cost based upon a country&#8217;s GDP. It found that in London, a cup of coffee is 7% cheaper than it should be. Turkey&#8217;s residents are getting the cheapest coffee for their GDP, with lattes there costing 44% less than they should.
