I think you underestimate
the cost of booze in London :)
I went to a bar with a mate for her birthday around Christmas time, and it was 4.50 for half a kronenbourg.

I was in Newtown, that's a sortof wanky poofy studenty arty farty suburb.
where beer isn't thaaaaat cheap.
If I was anywhere near the water I'd have paid $10 per pint.

Aye,
Although it was in Soho, and you expect to pay a premium there, that is still a pisstake!
