Electricity bill for studio flat?

I know it will vary a lot, but - on average - what kind of monthly electricity bill can I expect on a small-ish one bedroom studio flat in Central London? (about 400 square foot/38 square metres).
Thanks!
Thanks!

How can anyone answer that without knowing a) what sort of heating is there in the flat (gas/electric/E7), and b) how many hours a day you will have the heating on and how warm?
Also how will you provide your DHW?
Just too many variables.No free lunch, and no free laptop

Sorry! Heating is gas, so not an issue. Hot water is covered, too. So I just wanted a rough guide on general electricity use.How can anyone answer that without knowing a) what sort of heating is there in the flat (gas/electric/E7), and b) how many hours a day you will have the heating on and how warm?
Also how will you provide your DHW?

Maybe 250kWh per month?
The only other high cost electrical items are cookers, electric showers and tumble driers/washing machines. If your heating and hot water is via gas, that'll be the main expense.No free lunch, and no free laptop

A friend of mine who stays on his own is at present using 2 kWh a day electricity for cooking, washing machine and his computer. He eats out a lot though.
Hot water is another 2 kWhs a day but that is night rate.0
