Meals on average are expensive in London. That’s why if you’re on a budget, it makes a lot of sense to either cook your own meals or buy sandwiches at a grocery or drug store . Some of the sandwiches at grocery stores in London are actually fairly decent and you can get a meal deal for 2 pounds (under $5 for a drink, sandwich, and a side). But be warned: the queues (that’s what they call lines in England) are long at lunchtime! (although they do move rather quickly).
