Best cheap eats in London

Best cheap eats in London

With the current exchange rate not being the best (AUD to GBP = 0.55*), it’s becoming important to find good places offering great meals at a reasonable price.
Here are a few places to visit when in London.

Dishoom

Dishoom plays on the Irani cafes that were found in Bombay. Zoroastrian immigrants came to London and setup these cafes to allow everyone to experience this unique cuisine.
 Pau Bhaji
Dishoom Calarmari

Chicken Ruby

Masala Prawns

 There are several locations throughout London such as Carnaby (SOHO) and King’s Cross. I highly recommend visiting the King’s Cross location because once you step into the restaurant, you are taken back to a time and place of Irani Bombay cafes. Also should be noted that waiting in line for dinner during peak times can come with a one and a half waiting time.

 Price:  £50 (for 2 pax) including beers
Locations: Various
Reservations: Not for groups smaller than 6 pax
Rating: 10/10

This is another franchise available all around London. They serve a casual area for cake and tea consumption after a full day roaming the city. 
They have a great selection on display and an excellent range of teas available.

 Five guys

This American franchise has taken over the city. Freshly hand cut chips with customisable burgers and a drink machine from the future offering over 100 different drinks!
Great place for burgers and a soft drink that can meet any fussy drinker.

Flatiron

The best for cheap steak! They only offer one type of steak on the menu with various sides.
The steak is a cut taken from the shoulder and cooked to your liking. The chips are highly recommended as they are cooked in beef dripping!

Bath is a lovely town laced with canals and delicate buildings in the southwest region of Europe.  Famed for its Roman baths (hence the name) it is also great for walking around and shopping.

Though I have few photos, it is only due to it being more interesting to experience rather than photograph everything. The water is surprisingly quite warm and you can taste water from a separate source at the end. Warm and metallic taste, but worth it.  This was taken from the spot where the statue of Julius Caesar was The town itself is gorgeous with distinctly European townhouses. Pulteney Bridge is also another noteworthy spot as the bridge supports shops and a road across it.   We were given a guide of the canals and walked along them. Peaceful and scenic, you may also get to watch the use of the locks; mov...
