A Reuters poll of economists had forecast annual consumer price inflation would remain at 2.2%.
The BoE, which cut interest rates to 5% on Aug. 1, had expected inflation of 2.4% in August before rising to around 2.75% by the end of this year.
The British central bank is due to announce its latest decision on interest rates on Thursday.
“Years of sky-high inflation have taken their toll; and prices are still much higher than four years ago,” Darren Jones, a junior minister at the Treasury, said, adding that more manageable inflation was welcome.
