Nah, I've eaten cracking full English breakfasts (big ones too) for under a fiver, less than a mile from places where a cream tea is £25. Similarly, beers for £3.50 in one pub, yet £6 a five - minute walk away.

As you say though, the examples I gave are a 5 min walk away from Borough market, which is now eye poppingly expensive.

The site manager (used to be called a caretaker) asked me if we would be carrying knives while on site. Of course, I and my second said no. "You'll be the only ones here who aren't then", was his somewhat depressing reply!

Aye, Southwark is as rough as the proverbial if you dare venture off the South bank.

Never got in to bother myself, but then work dress was casual. Dodgy after dark I was told, but then I was only 30 seconds away from the tube station.
