That, I'm afraid, is the nature of London. The UK as a whole is pretty expensive but London, I think it is fair to say, verges on extortion whether it's the cost of living or entertainment in its various forms, as above, for example.
Perhaps my judgment is coloured by the fact that I can't stand London and have successfully avoided the place for several years.
Incidentally, I can go up on the hill a mile or two from here and, given good visibility, can see the building with the pyramidal roof shown in Post #1,
One Canada Square.
It's thirty miles away and that's about as near as I want to get to the place. Carruthers and the city are as oil and water, I'm afraid.
