Even at the time the TV abode could be considered pricey for just three residents in a prime location.

But Friends fans discovered during the series that Monica and Rachel paid just $200 a month in 1994, which is equivalent to $426 today - £347.

But these days, renting the two-bed flat would cost an eye-watering £5,815 a month.
