There is no set amount. Do you plan to eat at expensive restaurants, etc? How much do you have in your accounts?

I think the bigger the statement is the better you will get clearance.Hotels are expensive some rooms can go for £200-300 per night.

When the immigration officer at heathrow asks you how much you have on you if you say £100 they might send you back to Nigeria.I think £1000 is reasonable or better still a credit card.

Don't carry too much money as this might cause UKBA to be suspicious .

i really appreciate your response, even though it not my first application for a uk visa but i think i have a better chance now than ever. i donot intend living large in the uk rather live reasonable. what i have presently in my bank account is not more than a thousand pound and i am still expecting some of my cheques to coming. please, kindly advice me more on what should be the minimum balance in my bank account before i submit my application.
