Also, virtually everything is more expensive in London compared to elsewhere in the country, and central London is probably more expensive again compared to less central areas where most people actually live and shop.

Nice :) M&S has a reputation for pricy but very good quality food. Seeing those price conversions was interesting - the only time I’ve been on holiday in Canada was 30 years ago and back then £1 bought exactly $2, which made conversions easy! I remember being on a coach tour of Montreal and my amusement at the horror of the Americans on the bus when the guide converted the petrol price of 60c/litre into US $/gallon - it was exactly half the price it was here at the time (60p/ltr). I changed a £50 note for $100 note in Toronto and immediately spent it on a $96 day trip to Niagara Falls and the Maid of the Mists, Happy memories. 😊

You won't regret it. 5 minutes from town's is surrounded by insane countryside

My friends come from Liverpool and take them back. My daughter always came home from London and it's the first thing she wanted to eat. You must make sure though it's traditional Yorkshire.

Coastal towns usually do the best fish and chips. Look for the ones with large queues on a Friday night. They are usually the ones used by the locals, who obviously know best. London, like most capital cities is expensive but the outskirts are cheaper and, if you venture far enough out, cheaper still.
