I would say 500 is a minumum - allow up to 700 if you are going to live in an area where you might need a car/ travel extensively.. It also hugely depends on where you are planning to live - countryside, city or especially London as rent specifically varies widely throughout the UK

It also depends on where you'll reside; London in particular will, as mentioned below, be considerably more expensive. Personally my rent alone will be £475pm for a swish studio, leaving £525pm. I'd estimate £100-200 of that going to food and other expenses. So overall I estimate circa £700 in my case.
