Barrow-in-Furness, Salford and Stockport were the only other areas in the North West where the price of a pint cost less than £2.90 on average.

The Shropshire town of Telford is the place with the cheapest average cost of a pint, at just £2.00 - £3 less than London, which was unsurprisingly found to be the most expensive city for a pint.

Telford was closely followed by Hartlepool, where a pint will only set punters back £2.05, and Scarborough, where an average pint costs £2.10

A spokesperson for money.co.uk said: "By looking across the biggest towns and cities in the country we have been able to rank which places offer a pint of beer for the cheapest average price.

"Unsurprisingly the most expensive place for a pint in the country is the capital. In London it costs on average £5 for a beer, and in many central areas of the city it is far more than this."

This means that you could buy around two pints in Blackburn with Darwen for the same price that Londeners will pay for one.
