Of course if you know where to go, there are cheaper options

You mean if you decide not to drink in a strip club for a change?

I know
where to go when I'm in London - anywhere that isn't going to charge me £5.50 a pint - and that is a hell of a lot of pubs.

It is expensive
but I've lived in London for 8 years, and have been to expensive places, cheap places, etc. no one's ever tried to charge me £5.50 for a pint. You must have been in somewhere especially ridiculous.

I'd say the Central London average nowadays is probably around £4.10 for decent lager, £3.80 for bitter.

In central London yes
I've been to quite a few pretty ordinary pubs where they have charged stupid money. Not everywhere but it's becoming a lot more common
