It's a myth about the British and bad food. Really. London is a fabulous city - I lived there for 23 years. If you follow the tourist routes you'll get scalped, as in every other major city on the planet. After living there a little while you get to know where to eat, where to go just as if you're in, say, NYC.
Coming fom the US it will seem pricey I guess, but think of the advantages. Health care, no freepers, the right wing lunatics get laughed at and not obeyed; you can say, read, write what you like and you won't get stoned (unless, of course, you want to get stoned, in which case...) The newspapers will tell you what's happening in the world! BBC TV with no advertising! Great theatres, great music, trees everywhere, the royal family to laugh at!
In no time at all you'd be crossing the street to avoid the families of loud American tourists tring to find the nearest McDonalds to get "real food".
And you'd be welcome.
