Hotel Rates
Ouch. With this utterance we mean to suggest that London ain't cheap. Quite average hotels can easily reach £150 a night in London. Our upper limit for London hotels listed on EuroCheapo is £90 for a double in a two-star hotel. That said, accommodation can be had for as little as £12 for a dorm bed.
Restaurant Prices
Restaurants are similarly expensive in London, but great deals can be found. Restaurants range in price, from little fish-and-chip shops (cheap!) to lush dens of international fusion fare (not cheap). A very average pub meal will cost £7 at a traditional pub and between £12 and £15 at a slightly swankier gastropub. An average pre-fixe dinner will run between £15 and £20.
Penny pinchers will benefit from takeaways, which are considerably less expensive than standard restaurants. During warmer weather, takeaways are especially wonderful.
On the alcoholic beverage front, a pint of beer will cost £3. A lower-end bottle of wine will cost £4 at a supermarket or shop and £15 at a restaurant. A cup of coffee will cost £.80 at a hole-in-the-wall and £2 at a café. For those who like to smoke while drinking, a package of cigarettes costs £5.50 in London.
