It was ?3.00 for a sandwhich in 2000 at Earls Court, but then with beer at ?2.80-90 the norm in London then you should only ever drink at, when you are in Londres:

The Glassblowers on Brewer St, right at the bottom of Gt Pulteney St. W1
The Fitzroy in Charlotte St, W1
They do two nice lagers Ayingerbrau and a 5% one called Prinz for slightly over ?2.00 Brewery is Samuel Smith I think.
