I have just arrived from London and these prices are very accurate! Except for the pint... I used to pay 5. But all the other things, exactly the prices I found. For food I found cheaper to buy frozen meals at a supermarket. They are delicious and I used to pay around 4 for them.

I like Leon for healthier fast food options and market stalls like Spitalfields, Brick Lane, Camden, Borough (among others) for affordable meals, a lot of restaurants have 12.5% service charge which is not always clearly advertised, so your £9.95 meal will actually cost £11.19, if you are on a budget this is something to consider.

I have an idea for future videos... Some of the scenery and views are great in the vids. Maybe add the location of filming to the description, so people can go to that same place for those same views. As I assume the majority of viewers aren't local to London, it would also give them ideas of somewhere to go :)

Great idea with this video. You can use UBer for 15GBP for a ride of 30 mins. Or pay 5GBP for a pint of beer in London Brdge. It will cose you 3.9GBP to use the tube form zone 2 to zone 1 on rush hour. It wll coset you 4-5GBP to use the ferry from zone 2 to zone 1.
